Trolleybuses

 

In the cities there used to be lots of trolley buses. They ran on rails down the middle of wide roads, and they did not use petrol. Long arms ran up from the roof to overhead tram lines with electricity, and this made them go.

If the arms came off the lines, the tram or trolleybus would stop. Auckland used to have lots of trams.

 

Some modern cities like Toronto in Canada still have trolleybuses.

Why do you think they like them?

Inside the trolley buses in Toronto there is a lot of standing room, and not many seats.

Why do you think they are like this?
