Trolley accident, Carbondale, PA USA. 1922, no fatalities.

^ Wow, even places like Carbondale had ways to get people around on public transit.

How far we have fallen. (Sic transit gloria??)

Oh, but that was 1922: today, on the contrary, even the rottenest of losers can afford some sort of private car

Not so. It's bizarre, but government programs dictate the maximum value of an automobile people getting assistance can own, and the value is low -- under $1k. The catch is that those are the very automobiles most expensive in general to run, because they're old and falling apart, and burn a lot of gas. The result is that many people on government assistance can't have an automobile because they can't afford one that is worth so little.

That's where the aim should have been for the program for getting rid of clunkers; they should have raised the maximum value of an auto for people on assistance to $2500, and bought up all those pieces of crap which are also rather dangerous on the roads.
Of course, that would make too much sense.
