I miss these types of busses, the new busses seats are awful and very unconfortable.

Awww man! I'm gonna be in Edmonton to video some transit action there in April and I didn't know the trackless trolley system had been abandoned already... crud! I guess it will just be buses and some light rail....

At least I'll be going to Vancouver on the same trip....

@futuredriverforETS when gas prices go up and runs out, you're fucked mate

@yorkie556 very true especially in the long term when petrol and Diesel runs shor tand prices increases, Electricity can be made from anything even regenerative braking can put electricity back in.

Very sad to see! we are bringing trolleybuses back here in Leeds,, England. It is costing £255 million to build 2 routes, that puts into perspective just how much Edmonton has thrown away in electrical infrastructure.
