right Los Angeles once had the world's largest rail transit system with 1100 miles (1770 km) of track and 2800 scheduled trains each day (see also: Pacific Electric Railway). Rail lines and cable cars ran up and down every major street in Los Angeles and its suburbs.
Car culture began to reign supreme in the area as automobile prices dropped, freeways were built, and General Motors et al. bought up rail lines. After almost 90 years of transit history, Los Angeles' final remaining rapid rail transit line went out of service in 1961 and the last street car line followed suit two years later (See also: National City Lines).
