1973 is the same year Chicago, Illinois discontinued use of electric trolleybuses. March 31, was the last day of commercial operation.

Why the hell did Johannesburg abandon trolley buses instead of renewing and even expanding them? The city would be so much quieter and cleaner!!! 😭

The electric cables would have been stolen as has happened on the railway lines. Trolley buses were fun to ride until the connecting rods fell off.

Where the buses segregated?

@JohnTheRails 2 года назад

Yes. The non-European services carried a green board on the front at 'tween-decks level, which read "Non-Europeans Only" in English and Afrikaans.
