Trolleys
Why aren't we considering "Traction Trolleys"? Does anybody even understand, or remember, what those are? Essentially they are electric buses that use the overhead wires, like a trolley, but they can travel on pavement. They also work on steep hills, unlike steel wheeled trolleys. They are also less expensive to operate, maintain, and build, because they don't need steel rails.
