 Trolleybus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Trolleybuses are particularly important in hilly cities, as the electric power is more effective than diesel in climbing steep hills and have better roadway adhesion than streetcars.

Initially, ten cities applied to be included in the project after a series of seminars explaining the terms and conditions of the loan were held by MOT with a number of potentially interested cities; five additional cities applied at a later date.
At appraisal, only seven cities had achieved a cost recovery ratio in excess of 20 percent by the end of the first quarter 1994 but it was estimated at that time that about ten cities might reach 25 percent by the end of the second quarter and thus be eligible for inclusion in the project.
Cities were able to make these improvements by raising fares in real terms, by reducing exemptions and by increasing transit revenues by using subsidies to directly purchase transit passes for exempt passengers.
