From the wiki: “At its peak, the Tokyo Toden [electric streetcar] system boasted 41 routes with 213 kilometers of track. However, the increase in reliance on automobile traffic resulted in reductions in ridership, and from 1967 to 1972, 181-km of track were abandoned as the Bureau changed its emphasis to bus and subway modes of transportation.”
