  • Abstract
    This paper attempts to set forth the knowledge gained in operating a growing trackless trolley system over a period of 17 years. It in no way is intended to prove that the trolley coach is a cure-all for transit ills. Unbiased transit experts recognize the need for all types of vehicles in the industry: ``A place for every vehicle-every vehicle in its place.´´ We subscribe fully to this doctrine.
