Ask Sherman


Sherman, the cat and resident trolley expert, has lived most of his nine lives in MATA's car barn around streetcars. Recently our Administrative Director, Casie Pierce, sat him down and asked him some of the questions she has received. Sherman was happy to share his knowledge and you can click on each one of the questions below to read his "purr-fect" answers.
(Close each pop-up window before opening another.)

How does the McKinney Avenue Transit Authority make money?
What is a streetcar?
What is the difference between an electric streetcar and a cable car?
What are P.C.C. cars?
What is an interurban?
Why were streetcars abandoned in the 1950s?
What is the dining car all about
What is the north expansion?
When will the West End expansion be complete?
Can you pick up our party in Highland Park and take us to the Fairmont Hotel?

All this work made Sherman thirsty - check out his innovative way of taking a break.
