Automobile competition siphoned many of their \u003cbr\u003eriders away, but ridership soared again during World War II . \u003cbr\u003eAfter the war, the trolleys entered an era of gradual attrition, and \u003cbr\u003ethey were abandoned by 1956. Amazingly, in 1989, the nonprofit \u003cbr\u003eMcKinney Avenue Transit Authority (MATA ) returned restored \u003cbr\u003evintage trolley cars to the city in the Uptown neighborhood near \u003cbr\u003edowntown. MATA evolved from a tourist attraction into a true \u003cbr\u003etransit company and became the M-Line. Since then, the area \u003cbr\u003ehas experienced rapid growth and is now home to midrise office \u003cbr\u003ebuildings and upscale apartments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Cumbie, Judy Smith Hearst, Phillip E.
