Los Angeles and the Automobile BRB-11094
by Scott L. Bottles
" . . . it is important to realize that Angelenos freely adopted the
automobile as their major means of transportation long before
American City Lines purchased one of the city's two major fixed-rail
systems. By 1944, the city street car & inter-urban systems were mere
shadows of their former selves. Their decline began with the belief that
the automobile could solve pressing urban problems and create a kind
of utopia." 1987.
