Cash, Tokens, and Transfers uncovers this history for the interested reader and transportation historian alike, in a skillful combination of compelling narrative and period photographs. The first comprehensive history of public transportation in North America to be published in more than 6o years, the book traces the growth of urban mass transit from the horse-drawn streetcars of the 183os through the development of cable cars, electric streetcars, subways, and buses to the new light rail systems that are playing a key role in today's urban transit renaissance.
