@straphanger Personally I see no reason to be against #Trolleybuses or better yet #Trams - tho a #Trolleybus can climb way higher gradients than a #Tram so it's way better of an option.

And if for some reason we can't accept overhead wires, we should consider #Methaol - #Fuelcells as they provide the quick refueling abilities of #Diesel with the efficiencies of #electric and without the heavy deadweight of #Hydrogen pressure tanks...

A Solaris Trollino 12 #trolleybus in Landskrona, which is the only city in Sweden with trolleybuses, so one summer day I went there just to ride and photograph them.

Now with the latest MOTIS releases we can run pre-processing Lua scripts on GTFS feed data in Transitous.

I added a script to add route colors to some of the routes in the Swedish national feed from Trafiklab. Also set the route type for Landskrona's bus route 3 to trolley bus.

Also while riding round the City tonight: fun chat with a #SFMuni #trolleybus driver rewiring her poles after they didn't track through the hairpin turn at Market & Clayton.
(Back in trolley days, streetcars actually made a switchback right there).

Hattet ihr mitbekommen, dass in #Marburg keine neuen Oberleitungsbusse kommen, weil der Bund mal eben die Förderung eingestellt hat?

Wie beknackt ist das denn?!

Marburger Nahverkehr: Zehn Kilometer lange Oberleitung für Busse

Marburg will Batteriebusse an Stromleitungen durch die Stadt führen. Die Planung ist abgeschlossen, eine Trasse ausgewählt. Doch nun fehlt das Geld, weil der Bund die Förderung eingestellt hat.
