  Streetcar Days In Honolulu - Breezing Through Paradise

In 1900, the year that electric streetcars first came to Honolulu, there were only four automobiles on the island of Oahu. By 1904, the number of cars had jumped to about 20, but the new streetcar system was averaging 18,327 riders a day. As this beautifully produced and entertaining book explains, streetcars played a fundamental role in shaping modern Honolulu.
