@reluctantpopstar well they've been running in dayton since the 1930s actually... Dayton's last streetcar line ended in 1947. every city could benefit from ETBs

Gas efficient engines like CNG and hybrids may be cheaper, but they are still polluting and the running cost are more expansive than a trolley car, bus or light rail. It would have been a great investment.

This sound really nice!
And it's true nowadays as well!
But the gasoline lobby is bigger :-(

Tood bad they didn't put this together...but I see why not. This video dates from just before the MTA was created. This must have been an LACTC initiative.
ETBs are a good option as part of the mix.
They've been running in Dayton, Ohio since the 1950's, when they ripped out the rail based trolleys.
