The C&A's streetcar service was not expansive either, running for only 3 miles (4.8 km) down Main Street from the C&O station west to the University of Virginia with multiple branches. Thus, the C&A's profitability suffered and the railway went further into debt until it was purchased in 1912 by F.C. Todd, Norman James, and John L. Livers. Under the new ownership, the company was revitalized with many improvements including the construction of a new power plant producing 395:

The main street line continued past Ridge Street, the Charlottesville Union Station, and passed over the Southern Railway tracks before coming to the junction of West Main Street and Jefferson Park Avenue approximately 0.3 miles (0.48 km) west of the Southern tracks. At this point the line split, with one line following Jefferson Park Avenue south for approximately 1.6 miles (2.6 km) to Jefferson Park and Fry's Spring. The other line, approximately

In the early 2000s, the city began planning and analyzing various methods of public transportation for implementation within Charlottesville, one of which includes the development of a streetcar system.

Charlottesville and University Street Railway Company – renamed as the Charlottesville City and Suburban Railway in 1895 – continued operation. For a time these two companies operated both horse-drawn and electric streetcars on parallel tracks simultaneously, beginning with the first operation of the electric streetcars on January 12, 1895.
