Abstract :
This paper describes the operation of a modern trolley coach system. This system was installed one year ago with a single line and a few coaches. Now there are 7 lines in operation, the total route lengths exceeding 45 miles and requiring 40 coaches, each of which has a seating capacity of forty persons. The paper is generally divided into 2 parts, the first dealing with descriptions of the system and equipment, and the second part setting forth such experiences as have been gained in one year of operation.
