The new Hess Trolleybus in a Swiss city

[untensil]

London used to have trolley buses, but i never learnt why they were taken away!

[TheSuckerCity]

@omi1805 from wikipedia, lmao.....and we all know how trustworthy wikipedia is.....give me a break.

[Aspekitteh]

Wellington has a large amount of trolleybuses, however they aren't articulated. hmmmm, an articulated bus from the airport (unconnected) to the railroad station sounds like a good idea.

I better write to Mayor Kerry Pedergast.

That t-bus looks nice !

[MrDriverbus]

Chouette trolleybus et belle vidéo :-)

[MCOvronnaz]

Swiss public transportation takes the use of trolleybuses VERY seriously; only in the Lausanne city, at least 70% of public buses are trolleys, pricipally NAW/Hess models. The rest of the fleet is LNG or Diesel (with proper filter) powered.

That's very nice!

You can even see my vid of them: "Lausanne Trolleybus Paradise!".

At 1:50 the bus is heading out into the countryside. Surprised the lines extend that far.

nice video..

[JoelTheStig]

They are a stupid idea. And may I ask are they environmentally friendly, where does the electric come from, a big dirty coal burning power station.

[jemdude22]

Not sure if your hometown still relies on the polluting coal-fired power stations to produce electricity, but many countries use hydro-electric schemes, natural gas or nuclear power plants.

[SDC05061956]

@jemdude22 Clean coal emits much less CO2 than conventional gas power stations and still no one knows what to do with nuclear waste

[WayneAlexanderM]

Not true, Statistics show transit organizations actuall save money using trackless trolleys. But you're implying we should still use diesel. That's why city light rail systems run on electric. Don't you think we'd have diesel light rail if electric was'nt economical.

[Lalli1987]

Well now, thats a nice design of a trolleybus, sounds nice, and it's blue:)

Need some here in Hungary, but would miss the Ikaruses.

[legomation24]

are those antenas connected to those lines, and why???

[jemdude22]

You live in the States. Please pay a visit to Seattle, San Francisco or Dayton. They are not "antenas", the two rods are called trolley poles which are used to collect electric current from the live overhead wires.

[Timosha321]

you forget to mention Boston, Memphis and Philadelphia.

[Timosha321]

come on man...I live in the states (nyc) and yet i know what that is...

[Toerix]

ez nem bkv apa

[smartestinUSA]

That is a bus

[crapper1]

thats cool wish they would do that in the us

[jemdude22]

There are pretty sizeable trolleybus systems in San Francisco and Dayton.

[Timosha321]

don't forget boston too

[Timosha321]

they have some in Boston

[Timosha321]

obviously not as good but still

[chrigiansen]

this thing is fucking fast

[Fjus]

yeah right, they are fast and really powerful

[piotrek1511]

Is this a Solaris?

[jemdude22]

Nope. It's Hess.

[trolleyboy278]
