Actually.... Elsewhere in the Globe, there is a story about a street car start in Detroit.

Based on the info in the article, if I was in charge of the Hamilton project, I would go and speak with them on how they put this together and the equipment they have chosen.

Who knows how things turn out, but it looks like a good start to a larger system and they were able to put it together for a relatively small amount of money especially when compared to a Metrolinx project.
