Come Back Trolleys


Trolleys are making a big comeback only in the form of buses. Trolley buses are are becoming a new form of mass transit. Trolley buses can be either trolleys that have wheels and are no different then regular buses or trolleys that have little rubber wheels and move around on a overhead wire that electricity runs through. They make it easy for everybody especially the elderly, disabled, and children to get around without having to have a car. Trolleys like the interurban trolley that runs through both Goshen and Elkhart Indiana are like buses that look like trolleys, their fees are small (interurban only costs $1.00 trip), they also may have lifts for people who have to use a wheel chair. This is better then some buses and trains as well as subways that may not have lifts for people who use a wheel chair and cost more then $1.00. Trolley companies such as interurban sometimes offer van services for people who are unable to ride the trolley but want the trolley service. Trolleys are usually quieter then buses, trains, and subways and also make less pollution. Of course the main advantages of trolleys is that it brings back the charm and traditions of "the old days".
