Best Answer

Depends on your definition of 'reliable'. The first street cars were horse-drawn and already pretty reliable. After the horse came electricity as the power source for street cars. Both sources were reliable most of the time: only horses might not work well in conditions like glazed frost or other extreme weather conditions; electricity will not be reliable in any situation that results in a power failure.
