[PRCo] Re: Transit evolution

[Edward H. Lybarger]

The only problem I have with Goddard's "Getting There" is his chapter 7, in
which he gives far too much credit for the demise of trolley systems to "The
Conspiracy."

Two books I recommend on the transit evolution are:

"Getting There, The Epic Struggle between Road and Rail in the American
Century" by Stephen Goddard

"The Federal Role in Urban Mass Transportation" by George M Smerk

A third deals with the development of organized labor in the transit
industry:

"Trolley Wars, Streetcar Workers on the Line" by Scott Molloy
