given the info posted in this thread thus far, that already seems like a pretty dubious claim.
wikipedia says detroit's streetcar system, at its height, had 910 cars and 20 routes.
wikipedia says chicago's streetcar system, at its height, had 3100 cars and 100 routes.
and we haven't even gotten to LA's streetcar system, which was another monster system.
edit:
i found a detroit streetcar map. it was definitely a large and robust system, but it doesn't look quite as dense as chicago's streetcar network.
