Sun Link's 'Comeback Car' returns to Tucson streets.

Streetcar 105, also known as the 'Comeback Car,' has returned to service after being involved in a crash last year.

Officials emphasized the return was necessary to maintain service levels.

Some riders say they are looking forward to shorter wait times, while others still have concerns about safety following the crash that occurred on Aug.

Four people were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after the incident on Fourth Avenue at Eighth Street.

The two streetcars had completely derailed due to the crash.
