SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Tourists visiting Savannah’s historic riverfront can now take a free 1930s streetcar.
The shuttle began running Feb. 11, covering 10 blocks along the cobblestone promenade of shops and restaurants facing the Savannah River.
The city spent about $1 million to buy the tracks used by the streetcar and to restore its vintage look. But the streetcar also has a 21st century hybrid engine that runs on electricity and biodiesel fuel.
