Pre-war, Manila had an electric trolley car system.  (My father told me that Douglas MacArthur, in partnership with some highly placed friends, reputedly had a number of strategic business investments in Manila, of which this was one.  I have no confirmation whatsoever of this, it may well be just a GI scuttlebutt.) The trolley cars were set aflame by the Japanese defenders, and used as an ambush site.
