[tweetygdynia]

drążki spadają często, i szarpie, ekologiczne to może jest ale straszne dziadostwo trolejbus to socjalistyczne gówno

[bbartekk86]

Już nie spadają, a nowe modele są wyposażone w rozruch nieszarpiący podobny do tych w tramwajach. Do tego równa droga i komfort jazdy jest tak wysoki jak w autobusach, albo i lepszy ze wzgledu na przyspieszenie.

[Tibianuks]

Niepotrzebnie oni kupują nowe trolejbusy to nie są ich winy , tylko lini bo nie są zmieniane bo pamiętam że w pałąkach były jakieś haczyki które miało za zadanie jakby utrzymać linie

kieepskie ale coz gratuluje pomyslu....:/

[igozie]

I can't unerstand how it may be interesting.. maybe this fact I live here and for me it's obviosly to see this "invention" everyday;p The first think why everyone doesn't use it is installation . next - they're slowers (more busstops) and often slower than motorbuses. and there breake more often.

[temelon]

Those buses work by electricity? As a tram?

[tbusuk]

Yes, they run on electricity just like a tram, but have rubber tyres and are steered by the driver like a motorbus. Therefore they have the same environmental benefits as a tram (using clean electricity with no exhaust on the streets), but are more flexible, as they can steer past obstacles, unlike a tram. Also, they don't need the expensive and disruptive installation of the tramtracks.

[temelon]

Good invention. I am not sure if we had those in Finland. Why not people doesn't use them more? It is pollution free!! ;)

[tbusuk]

Finland had them in Helsinki and Tampere, but they closed in 1974 and 1976. Helsinki tried to reintroduce in 1980, but the trial came to nothing, unfortunately. The nearest systems in operation are Tallinn in Estonia and St. Petersburg in Russia.

@tbusuk We dont use that here in the u.s :(

[tbusuk]

@cheriecanelas

You do have a few trolleybus systems in the US - large ones in San Francisco and Seattle, and smaller ones in Dayton, Boston (Cambridge) and Philly.

In Canada, there is a large system in Vancouver, and there was one in Edmonton until recently.

[cheriecanelas]

@tbusuk Oh yea, i forgot, i just dont live by those areas. they dont have those in miami

This 1970's trolleybus can beat modern buses in terms of acceleration. I first saw them in the early 80's and was very impressed by the performance, esp. compared to buses then.

This model was built from Berliet bus body (now owned by Renault; buses very similar in appearance can be seen in Paris). Gdynia also owns a few Solaris/Ganz trolleybuses build in the body of a modern low-floor bus. Same trolleybuses can be found in Riga and Rome (also on YouTube)

It is video very interestingly! About the same models of trolley buses now are maintained in Moscow. A minimum they so look. You probably have spent a lot of time to make this video and not one trolley bus has passed before you!
