Politics anyone? A non regional bus system is a complete failure because of the politics involved. We see it everyday with all of the police agencies in the valley. Every time a transit (bus, LRT, etc) makes a transfer from one vehicle to the next, you decrease ridership by a minimum of 10%. I will say this, SLC is probably a lot closer to operating a street car system than anyone on here can possibly realize.
I know you love the bay area system, but it is a complete failure from a management perspective. It is amazing to me that it operates as well as it does given the daily politics of the system.
