Rio de Janeiro got rid of the streetcars in 1963 ( which I and many other people think was a pretty stupid decision ) and four years ago, for the World Cup they spent millions building a shorter route modern version that goes through downtown.
By the way: many of the original street cars Rio de Janeiro had in the 50's are now... in the United States. Why? Because when they were put out of commission, the stupid authorities started to destroy them. Since they were built in the USA, American street car enthusiasts stopped the destruction by buying them and bringing them back to America.
