PART 1 of 2
ETS's historic #202 is a 1954 Canadian Car & Foundry-Brill T48A electric trolley bus.

This video shows #202 on the final day of trolley bus operations in Edmonton, May 2nd, 2009. The bus was brought out for the afternoon to serve on the Route 3 Cromdale-Downtown-Jasper Place.

Part 1 shows the bus in service, while part 2 will show the bus deadheading and at Westwood Garage. By 5pm on May 2nd, all electric trolley bus operations had ceased as all trolley runs had been changed over to run with low floor diesel buses.

@retroolschool The usual old crap: "visual pollution" of the overhead wires; transferring pollution from the tailpipe to a thermal power plant somewhere, "inflexibility", hybrids are supposedly "greener".

Edmonton city counselors can't see past the diesel smoke.

Also, how many New-looks are still in service in Edmonton? 

[retroolschool]

would someone please tell me why buses that do not really pollute, put out less decibals, be phased out of service in this bloddy day in age eh?

How sad to see the History of trolleys gone. Hope this Video HUANTS them (Ciy Condllers) for not upgradging to the New ones (#6000).

Buen paseo por trolebus, aquì en Mèxico D.F. hubieron trolebuses de este modelo circulando hasta finales de los 80. Esto me hizo recordar mi infancia. Sigan subiendo mas videos de paseos por trolebuses Bril., me gustaban esos modelos en particular.
