Is Lima supposed to be Lima, Peru? That's in South America.

You've included Lima's which is in South America but missed San Juan (Puerto Rico), Newark (NJ), San Jose (CA) and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic). I had a look on your source and New Orleans, Memphis and Ottawa aren't mentioned there either.

Nashville: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_City_Star Also, counting the trolleys in Memphis and New Orleans is a bit of a stretch.

I've removed Lima; not sure what that was doing there. I'm going by metropolitan area so I counted San Jose as part of the San Francisco Bay Area and Newark as part of the New York area. Urbanrail.net is missing some systems but I do think all three should count. The Music City star is not rapid transit; trains only come about every 30 minutes and only during peak hours.

What do people think about San Juan and Santo Domingo as part of North America? I'm open to adding those.

Just nitpicking, but the "name of system" column is not consistent. Sometimes the name of the system is first with the operator in brackets, sometimes it's backwards, and sometimes one of them is not there at all.

I've added San Juan and Santo Domingo, and also Norfolk, whose system opened since I made the quiz.

Tampa has a heritage streetcar line, the TECO Line Streetcar System. It's probably about as worthy of being on this quiz as the Memphis system, at least.

What do other people think about Tampa? I'm open to it but the reason I am reluctant is that trolleys don't start running until the middle of the day, rendering it impossible to use as a transit system for most general commuting purposes.

For the time being, I've added Tampa along with Kenosha, WI as bonus answers.
