Our finite planet: planning for a decline in our oil bounty

In my local supermarket in Prospect there is a wonderful photo from the early 1900


Compared to European cities, where fuel taxes are high, Adelaide is very spread out. Areas built after WWII are almost completely dependent on car transport. In older areas, like Prospect, trams have been forced off the roads to make more room for cars. Would our only remaining tram-run to Glenelg still exist if it competed with cars for most of its route?
