Buses aren't proven to increase nearby property values like fixed rail does. If anything bus stops are viewed as negatives. And public transportation is never profitable. Not in NYC, not in Europe, nowhere. Those that expect the streetcar to be profitable are people with zero knowledge of how public transportation works.
