I never heard of the (Washington, D.C.) DC Streetcar until this comment.

Wiki tells me:

    > The DC Streetcar is a surface streetcar network in Washington, D.C. that consists of a single line running 2.2 miles (3.5 km) in mixed traffic along H Street and Benning Road in the city's Northeast quadrant.

Is it even worth building a rail project that short? I had less than 900K riders last year. Something about light rail is so underwhelming to me.
