It might look lame to us but if you are from Grand Island, NE it probably seems pretty cool.<br /><br />Plus it gives them a free and easy way to get around the entertainment district and keeps them out of the more dangerous area.

People who take subways don't take stupid selfies of themselves and are just grateful for a means to get to work since people in those cities don't drive cars. In Kansas City, driving is no problem. The streetcar lovers will fade away once they start charging $1.50 a ride, just like we do with the bus. They're only loving it because it's free.
