Sounds like it's going to end up like the San Francisco trams.
Where the two tram routes left (from the city centre area) are mainly for
tourists who want to ride the SF icon.

I imagine you mean the cable cars (there are still plenty of trams).

And there are three cable car routes.

No, he means the trams.

http://www.streetcar.org/ should explain.
The main "Light Rail" routes were put in a subway beneath Market St when the
BART (Metro) was built. But the surface tracks were retained andnow a
fleet of PCC cars and ex Milan Peter Witts ply the F/Market route up Market
and along the Embarcadero to Fishermans Wharf. There a plans for an E
route as well. The subway routes are J,K,L,M,N and you can see how they
(and the F) cars run at http://www.nextbus.com/predictor/stopSelector.jsp
