Some of those trolley bus reroutes are on roads with no overhead, so does this mean that for “car free day” that “green” trolley buses are replaced with diesel buses? If so, that just does not make any sense to me.
Hi David, yes. Due to some road closures for whatever reason; construction, events, MVA, etc., there are times when a trolley bus needs to be replaced with a conventional bus for the temporary reroute or detour. Thanks!
