Unless the Streetcars are named Desire, I do not like them. To me fleets of minbuses make more sense, buzzing around the town and downtown area like little bees, carrying people just about anywhere. The only place I have seen such a thing is in central american and Pakistani cities, where VW type buses are all over the place (though usually on assigned routes). BEndy buses can be nice too on main routes.
