i usually dont like modern machine design (be it cars, buses, trains, or trolleybuses), but these trolleybuses really do look nice! i'd love to have them in my city...
They look weird as hell. Like a tram and a bus had an illegitimate child. Interesting though. I like the wheel covers to clean up the lines, but also turn with the wheels
Merci pour cet intéressant petit film sur les trolleybus Lyonnais... Si tu as l'occasion dans refaire d'autres à bord des minis trolley circulant sur la ligne 6, pour ma part je suis preneur. ;) Encore bravo.
Superbe vidéo !!! Lyon est très bien équipée en matière de transport en commun. Les bus changent, évoluent mais je regrette quand même les bus et trolley des années 80 à Lyon et surtout les lignes n°23 et n°9 !!!!!!!
@ ian jeffrey. Much like the UK, we couldn't lag behind the then "Fashion" and were getting rid of everything that used 'over-head' wires, even to scrapping some as new as around 5 years old. Now they are trying to be 'with it' in bringing back some trams in towns. It doesn't enter their 'tiny' minds that one more 'overhead' wire does away with the colossal cost of laying new track which all authorities are having to do. Added to the fact that you only need any vehicle 1mm in the way of a tram and it is stuck, at least with a 'trolley bus' it can steer around it, and it uses existing roads. No land has to be acquired, - (even for part of a 'new' route), - which adds even more cost. I suppose one day some British 'politician' might have the 'bright' idea to re-introduce them, but until then we will just have to put up with the Government giving Councils millions of pounds to waste on building tracks etc, and then we wonder why our NHS is in such a mess.
Les transports low coast du futur si les énergies fossiles venaient à manquer ou serait trop chère, ou aussi à cause du réchauffement planétaire, à condition que l'électricité vient d'énergies vertes. Ce n'est pas si compliqué d'installer du câblage sur des réseau de bus conventionnels pour les transformer en réseaux de bus électriques.
These are amazing! Just heard about them on The Great Simplification Podcast. So much better than BEVs in terms of efficiency. Do they not have to slow down for pedestrians on zebra crossings though?
Isso me lembra um pouco o centro de são paulo, o próprio ônibus passando ali pela rua boa vista, depois indo pela libero badaró e subido o largo são francisco ;D
The bus company here in Pittsburgh just came out with a (probably not so) new gimmick -- a BATTERY tri-axle bus (E-bus with no wires)... My only question is how the hell do they make sure that thing doesn't DIE in the middle of Oakland...
LYONNNNNNNN LA CIUDAD DE MI ESPOSA. ESTUVE VARIAS VECES, MESES. ESSSS HERMOSAAAAA, SU CASCO HISTORICO, TODOOOOOO. DESP DE PARIS TENES Q VISITAR LYON. LA CIUDAD DE LA COMIDA GOURMET. PAUL BOCOUSE MMMMM TODO . BELLA LYON Y SU GENTE
Ils sont loin les Vetra 6 roues avec caisse Berliet de mon enfance . Maintenant les TCL, pardon le SYTRAL, contrairement aux parisiens donneurs de leçons, ont gardé leur parc de trolley et l'ont même augmenté. Le réseau de Lyon est l'un des meilleurs de France, voire d'Europe et Madame bobo hidalgo devrait y penser pour "sa " pollution anti-bagnoles Heureux lyonnais ! Signé: Un lyonnais exilé à Paris
Typical French, not scared to use electric traction in the streets plus no batteries In the UK,they got rid of them all in the 60s and the system Bradford in 1972. Wellington in NZ scrapped them in 2017. They are quiet, excellent well a d look good. The French are progressive not backward.
