Detroit MI just opened a short (phase 1) streetcar line along Woodward Ave.
Parts of it were financed by private industry. The original plan was for light rail. But when the BRT folk promoted their plan, private invstors stepped forward to finance the QLine (M-1 Rail).
I just found out about this on the Funct. Transit Wpg. facebook group.

If Winnipeg were to build a streetcar like this one, which Winnipeg-area companies could help pay for it, instead of relying on government, who seems to want a bus-only solution?
