Most houses and businesses in cities were still lit using gas lamps, but electric lighting was replacing that.

No highways existed. Outside of cities and towns the roads that did exist were usually unpaved dirt trails that became impassable with mud every time it rained. Most large cities had some form of public transit, often electric trolleys or horse drawn omnibuses. The telephone was still limited to just local calls and all calls were connected by an operator. But things were beginning to change very rapidly!
What was the cause of the change of streetcars and subways?
You have 2 different questions. Streetcars were electric busses which travelled on rail tracks in streets. Most have disappeared. They had to stop in the middle of the street which meant that passengers needed to get out in the street which made it dangerous. Many people were killed by passing cars. Street cars still exist in New Orleans, Louisiana, in the United States, where they can operate on streets separate from automobiles. Subways exist in a number of places. More are being built. They are expensive to build or even more would be built.
