How are they different from streetcars?

They can also be used on non-guided tracks — ie. vehicles cleared to work on roads too with a driver. More versatile.

Is oftentimes better than a master of one.

People always miss that bit out.

Likely due to the phrase being added to over time.

Another version is: "Jack of all trades, master of none, but better still than a master of one."

A number of old phrases have been added to over time.

Was watching a YT video against this idea. Basically the occupancy is quite low per dollar, and generally there's not much expertise in building them. This means the city/state is tied to one company which can ream them price-wise. If you need the occupancy, get a train.
