  • Abstract
    ALTHOUGH the trackless trolley may not be a cure-all for transit ills, it has proved to be a most satisfactory vehicle for mass passenger transportation. The United Electric Railways Company of Providence, R. L, starting with a fleet of five in 1931, now operates 330 trolley coaches. These 17 years have been a source of invaluable experience in every phase of operation, including vehicle storage, overhead construction, vehicle maintenance, and economic performance.
