Currently obsessing over this absolutely bizarre trolleybus network. Why do they run the buses so infrequently (like every 40-50 minutes) but yet have the money to build out such a massive system that trolleybuses are running on county roads with no sidewalks? How did Dayton of all places manage to keep its trolleybus system when even Boston couldn't?
This is a trolleybus network that runs terrible schedules but yet runs far out into the suburbs. It has post-Soviet vibes for sure.
I wish more cities would go for trolley buses instead of battery buses. So many challenges with recharging and range that can be avoided.
Transit and city leaders in North America don't want to battle with small business owners and nimbys about putting up the wires, even though it's the correct thing to do.
