Nearly most of the new trolleys in Beijing are equipped with banks of batteries onboard, and are able to travel a considerable length of distance independent of overhead wires. This video clip shows the trolleybuses with their poles lowered passing through Wong Fu Jing St, a semi-padestrainised shopping street where overhead wires have been removed so as to eliminate the visual impact from the wirings.
In the last a few seconds, the computer-generated female voice came out from the the outer speaker of the trolleybus, saying:"Vehicles and Pedestrians Please Mind the Traffic Safty"

This is where trolleybuses score over trams which cannot go where there's no track. Trolleybuses are much more manoeuvrable and have all the environmental benefits of electric traction.
