Streetcar conspiracy show on SBS Saturday 25/9 7:30pm

["Chris Stratton" <stratton.chris.cp@nospam.bhp.com.au>]

The Sunday Telegraph (Sydney) TV guide lists a show on SBS on Sat 25/9 at
7:30 pm called "As it Happened: Taken For A Ride". Their description
follows:
"An extraordinary documentary exploding the myth of the family car. Before
the birth of the motor vehicle, America was serviced by a network of cheap,
clean streetcars. Taken For A Ride reveals how General Motors led the push
to destroy the streetcars, using misinformation and dummy companies, buying
them out, and replacing them with buses, intended to make a natural
transition to motor cars. The propaganda war was so extraordinary that at
one point a GM transport engineer proclaimed bus fumes were not harmful."
In light of a recent thread on this NG maybe they should use USA rather than
America <g>.
