They were first mass produced in the 1920s but didn't truly become the "dominant form of transportation" until the post-War economic boom, subsequent suburbanization, and growth of the Eisenhower interstate system. Nice article though - I always appreciate that you take time to highlight new and innovative means of transit. The Triangle's multimodal layout and low density necessitate some true outside-the-box thinking, and your site(s) have consistently brought some cool concepts to the forefront of discussion. Keep up the good work.
