Beijing Trolley Busses

A bit of light relief from high culture. The trolley bus. Aren't they smart. There are even articulated ones. No photograph of one. Gutted.

And these buses can run "off wire". That is they can go for distances away from the overhead wires. When the bus rejoins the wired area, the pantographs are guided by a very low tech solution back on to the wires. This time it didn't quite work, but you get the idea.

And done from the drivers cab. We could really do with these in UB.
