Тут утверждается что в США в начале 20 века были трамвайные линии до 1500 км и средняя скорость 130 км/ч.
Далее General Motors вместе с Firestone Tire, Standard Oil of California и Phillips Petroleum тупо всё скупили и развалили.
Cemetery of trams killed by General Motors, o. Terminal, California, 1956. By the beginning of the 20th century, in almost every village in the United States with a population of more than 2,500 people, there was its own electric road system, in addition to this, the tram lines connected a huge number of cities to each other. The longest continuous route was more than 1,500 kilometers, and the average speed of intercity trains was 130 km / h. For some time, the tram companies and auto giants managed to coexist and develop normally, but by the 1920s, sales of General Motors cars began to plummet. Those who wanted and could afford a personal car, have already purchased it, the remaining 90% moved mainly by electric vehicles. A 1974 report by US Senate advisor Bradford Snell provided evidence that from 1936 to 1950 General Motors, in conjunction with Firestone Tire, Standard Oil of California and Phillips Petroleum, created substitute holding companies through which they bought tram lines and eliminated them. Direct threats, blackmail, deception and bribery of officials were used, extensive contacts of the leadership in ruling and banking circles were used. As a result, stinky, slow buses gradually replaced the trams. The manufacturer of these buses were all the same General Motors. Well, inconvenient graphics, cramped and stuffy showrooms forced solvent citizens to purchase personal cars. The court found only a plot to prove the purchase of buses manufactured by General Motors proved. For violation of antitrust laws, the company was fined $ 5,000, and each of the company's executives was paid $ 1. Trams by that time had already disappeared from almost all cities.
