Tragedy of Trolley BUS Explained {Science Thursday Ep241}

[@Mynx31]

Love the range of technologies you cover

[@s2tenglish]

Well THANKS

[@SeekingBeautifulDesign]

I didn't hear it directly covered: breakdowns of traffic, mechanics and people (having to take a vehicle out of service for a passenger issue) is a big cause of delay for rail based systems (sequential movement) Pantograph trams allow 1 tram to pass another on the same route. Traffic jams and disabled trams are more easily bypassed with trams that can use 2-3 lanes for the same wires. As you mentioned hybrid pantograph/battery vehicles are even better. What do you think about the wireless charging buses with small batteries that charge from plates in the road at bus stops?

wireless charging buses will make trams LOOK FREE

Can you make a video about Amsterdam and city planning? I was watching videos about it, and how it is supposedly one of the best designed cities in the world. I would like to see you go a bit deeper into the subject. Thank you ^^

[@s2tenglish]

Thanks for the idea!

[@UnpluggedAi]

tragedy..? title should be .: trolley bus,the most underated city transport . or advantages of trolley buses..😂

[@s2tenglish]

Well they died so that why the " tragedy"

The only downside I found with them is when they came off the wires. They would slam to a very abrupt stop and send passengers flying, myself included. Otherwise I'm a huge fan of them but prefer trams/LRT to buses for the comfort and speed even with a relatively huge one-time construction cost...

[@stickynorth]

Battery electric trams now have at least a battery back up to prevent this I've been told but my hometown trolley network was finally shut in 2009... We have a lot of electric battery buses but it's still not the same...

[@s2tenglish]

yes that is why they need to be well maintained and battery helps in thoes moments

[@PRIYANSHUJOSHI-p9d]

this english video seemed to have given a bit more info than your same hindi video

[@s2tenglish]

I record English after Hindi so sometimes this happens

Trolley bus can't work in rainfall

[@SeekingBeautifulDesign]

1. They do. The engineering isn't that hard. 2. Using historical inductive reasoning: trams must have worked in the rain to be such a successful daily use technology. They weren't/aren't all in the desert

[@s2tenglish]

WTF is wong with u ? U know its a active working system we have people using it for century in ALL WEATHER

[@bluemoondiadochi]

Want proof they can? Look up the video titled "Yerevan Trolleybus (2023)" by KT4Dani, look at 9:36 and you literally have a trolleybus driving through pouring rain. BRUH
