[PRCo] 9/5/65 - Last day for PAT trolley lines

I'd question the basis of PAT's 1960's claim.  In the mid-60's Toronto had more trolleys - and probably track miles too - than Pittsburgh.

an ad in yesterday's City Paper from the Port Authority points out that 
Pittsburgh had the largest remaining trolley system in the US in the 1960s. 

i find this ironic.
