To put it mildly, Hamilton was really late to the LRT Party! There are 36 existing LRT systems and 20 in serious planning stages throughout North America. That's not counting 7 other cities including Toronto, that kept there streetcar systems somewhat intact and began converting existing lines to LRT standard or just went ahead and built new LRT lines from scratch, as well as maintaining the existing streetcar network. There are also 9 existing and or newly building "New streetcar lines" that operate in mixed traffic, throughout North America, The Portland, Seattle, Atlanta and Washington streetcar systems are good examples of this type. This is also not counting the many cities like New Orleans, Kenosha, Little Rock or Tampa that operate historic streetcars in the city streets which function as not only tourist trolleys but actually as part of the city's transit system.
