Don't know what SF called them  --  there are many people In SF who 
call(ed) them buses  --  MANY!!!!!!!       Cable Car is a Specific Form 
of StreetCar as is TrolleyCar  --  my specific interest is TrolleyCar 
and I personally identify them as such regardless of where they operate.

Pgh.  OFTEN  used the term StreetCar,  Cars  for short.       I often 
used the term  StreetCar as well.       But after the many discussions 
on the Inet about daffynitions, I recognize that I am specifically 
interested in  TrolleyCars  and that is the term I use.
