Since 1960, I have lived a block away from Rt. 59 and have ridden on this "trackless trolley" thousands of times. I have some books with old photos of areas of NE Philly and in it was a picture when there was a regular trolley that ran on Castor Ave.

I am really grateful we have trolleybuses.

Vancouver uses the e40lfrs

The over-heads must be used to recharge the batteries, as they can run without contact.

[@lorumipsum1129]

They can, but not for long. The disel ahxilary power unit is meant as a backup. Not to be used as the main power source.

I enjoy the video alot. Besides the busses itself, it is an interesting view on the north american every day life you wont see at hollywood movies. 😃 You done a great work there. 👍

@@alden5931 all the old trackless trolleys are destroyed in Luzerne depot a long time ago. Plus all the neoplans as well

[@professional.commentator]

Why can't New York City have trolleys? ☹️

[@xXdoesitstartXx]

[@danielsamuels5857]

Those are 2008 E40LF buses. The Xt40 didn't come until 2014.
