What happened to Tokyo’s streetcars?

So, back in the day like most cities in the world Tokyo had over 200km worth of streetcar tracks but now it only has one. I'm just wondering why, and, if there is any renewed interest in Tokyo to get streetcars working again. In my personal opinion I find streetcars quite efficient when it comes to going short distances, and it's more aesthetically pleasing than a bus. Obviously I can't imagine streetcars running through Shinjuku or Shibuya, but if you made them pedestrian only then maybe?

Thoughts on reviving Tokyo's 200km of streetcars? 🙂
