  • Abstract
    Trolley coaches and PCC streetcars established a high degree of availability and usefulness meeting World War II demands and have a definite economic field of application for city transit ranging from 500 to 12,000 maximum passengers per hour in one direction. They offer efficient use of city streets and reduction of traffic congestion.
