the over head wires are called pantographs

@0866trainsEWS not on trolleybuses / only on some types of train & tram (also known as light rail and streetcar).

normaly there comes sparks out if he goes through the wire

[citytransportinfo]

that might depend if the bus is coasting (rolling on its own momentum) or the motors are working / drawing power.

Maintenance nightmare...........

@0866trainsEWS - The overhead wires are called "overhead wires". The collectors seen used in this clip are called "trolley poles".

[JBofBrisbane]

@Mcoov - but it costs so much less not to have to dig up the streets to lay rails in them.

[AmazinglyAgnostic]

@ROCKSTARCRANE agree.
