Awesome!! I miss our Trolley busses!! They still run in Vancouver though! :)

[@kristinajendesen7111]

I saw them in Hamilton but that was way back in 1974. I believe they've gone now? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤🇨🇦

It's a great bus!
I've never seen this!

J'ai du plaisir à prendre les tpg !

Pareil sauf quand mon abonnement il est fini et qu'il y a ses contrôleurs qui apparaissent😂😂😂

Very impressive. I wish that we still had trolleybuses. Bournemouth had the 2nd best system after London.

Silent, clean, no rails.
Perfect.
Don't understand why cities choose trams....

Trams can transport much more people

[@hans2406]

@@malki04
Trams cost more to build, tramlines are very expensive and trams must remain on tracks.
Trolley buses can transport up to 200 people, are more silent as trams and nowadays can do without outside electric supply for short distances.
Also cheaper to build and maintain

[@malki04]

@@hans2406 ye they are cheaper but less effective. That's why we have both in Geneva

[@Idiocracy343]

@@hans2406 Trams can connect to other trams which makes them transport more than 200
Trams are able to move faster than buses
Trams are better at busy routes
Trams are more eco-friendly than trolley buses
Trams Have longer lifespan than trolleybuses
And trolleybuses:
Trolleybuses Could be made to have a battery incase power goes out or change route
Trolleybuses dont have the maintenance required with trams
Trolleybuses use less material than normal diesel buses and battery electric buses

[@ss-rh2hk]

I think it's very economical to have articulated trolley buses instead of trams. Heavy cost savings on infrastructure.

[@nihal_smith]

What about green energy though?

[@malki04]

We have both in Geneva

[@Idiocracy343]

Trams are good for busy routes

[@keahnig164]

@@nihal_smith It's a trolleybus, it runs on electricity from the overhead wires, just like a tram does...

[@TheDylanJoyce]

I'd give ANYTHING do be able to drive one of those!

Fun fact.... 7 years later, and I actually do now! 7 years later and I'm REALLY proud to be reading my old comment!

Where do you drive them?

Электротранспорт везде развивается. У нас с лица Ташкента убрали троллейбусов и трамваев. Только автобусы.

[@marcoshenriquesaat3121]

Seria bom se estes tipos de trolebus fossem utilizados em São Paulo, principalmente nos corredores de ônibus.

[@CoolAsFreya]

How do the dual trolley poles not come disconnected all the time, I know when melbourne's trams used to use trolley poles a decade ago they had problems with dewiring at intersections

[@KB-rc1ns]

Depends on the overhead type and quality, these ones are pretty good.
