    Isn't this something called a trolleybus? I went to St Petersburg in the 90s and it was a major form of public transportation

      pretty much, but the idea is to install the overhead lines along major roads and replace all trucks with battery operated electric ones

      the lines are used while the truck is on those roads, then the battery is there for when it needs to make the last bit of the journey

      it looks to be a very good idea tbh, as much as people here like to jizz up the walls about trains, there are a lot of times where trains are not a practical solution
