Why the bus sounds like going on rails with spaces between them? I mean this "hit" noise.

How do they guide the trolley coaches? Is there a signal carrying wire or mechanical means?

@ Trainbrain1949: there are small wheels at the side of the bus, which keep contact with the kerbs. Or do you mean the fact how the buses interact with the signalling and stuff.

This answered my question. I know the CTA in Chicago experimented with having a bus guided by a wire buried in the pavement that carried a signal. Nothing ever became of it.
