Have asked many "what happened to the electrically powered trolly buses which operated in many of the worlds
larger cities?" They were quite, clean and shifted pollution to the point of power generation.

RE: Trolly buses
When visiting London I noted that the double-decker bus drivers applied throttle as if they were metered fuel with an eye dropper, they also conserved the energy of their motion. Here the drivers do the opposite, full throttle till you need full brakes. See the light red, keep the throttle on until the last moment then brake hard. As you know nothing is gained or saved by being the first to the next light. I always wonder how much fuel would be saved nationally if commercial drivers were more conservative.
