This article reminds me of stories my grandfather had told me about how amazing the red car system was in Los Angeles and how buses replaced and ruined the system. The red car originally went from Los Angeles and ended all the way down to the end of the Peninsula in Newport Beach Orange County. Today if you go to the Pavilion in Newport Beach California you can see the end of the line portion that would rotate the red car. At the time I thought my grandfather was just talking about the good old days but this article gave me some good context on a good system ruined.
