Trolley Bus

Seattle still maintains a rather large Trolley bus network. The reason is the same as San Francisco. There are steep hill in Seattle. Trolley busses can climb these hills easier then standard Diesel busses. Then there is the added environmental advantage with the lack of emissions. Plus the busses are relatively quiet.
