What *really* killed streetcars?
They stopped running efficiently because they were swamped by private automobiles.

This is fascinating thread. Especially: "Lockdowns are of course bad for mood & MH, *but not as bad as an unchecked pandemic*."

[Mark Fabian @MarkFabian_PAIS]

Our paper on subjective wellbeing under lockdowns is out today in PLoS ONE.
