From City of Lakes Urbanism, a link to Brett McKean’s map of the 1933 streetcar routes in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. We do still have a lot of this infrastructure, it’s just in the form of buses now. If someone could dig up the old time schedules, that would be an interesting comparison. The busiest routes in the metro look to be Hennepin Avenue north and south of downtown, with three lines running all the way to Uptown and East and West 7th Street in Saint Paul.
