from the article you cite:
"GM had actually been convicted of conspiring with others in the automotive industry "to monopolize the sale of supplies used by the local transportation companies controlled by the City Lines defendants."
In LA, GM & Standard Oil et.al. were found guilty (1949) of the collusion to kill the "Big Red Cars" but somehow fined $1, because the judge didn't think it was a big deal. The verdict was upheld on appeal.
The map of rail service in Los Angeles ca 1930 looks very similar to the freeway map of 1970.
These are the same GM guys who whined, moaned & delayed air quality & fuel efficiency standards as "undoable."
