	Trolleybus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Some cities, led by the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMTâ”New York), subscribed to the all-four concept of using buses, trolleybuses, trams (in U.S. called streetcars, trolleys or light rail) and rapid transit subway and/or elevated lines ( metros) as appropriate for routes ranging from lightly-used to heaviest trunk line.

		Some cities, led by the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT—New York), subscribed to the all-four concept of using buses, trolleybuses, trams (in U.S. called streetcars, trolleys or light rail) and rapid transit subway and/or elevated lines (metros) as appropriate for routes ranging from lightly-used to heaviest trunk line.
		Like other electric vehicles, trolleybuses are often seen as more environmentally friendly than hydrocarbon-based vehicles (gasoline, diesel, alcohol, etc.), but the power is not "free", and instead has to be produced at centralised power plants, with its attendant transmission losses.

		In the USA, some cities, led by the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT—New York), subscribed to the all-four concept of using buses, trolleybuses, trams (in U.S. called streetcars, trolleys or light rail) and rapid transit subway and/or elevated lines (metros), as appropriate, for routes ranging from lightly-used to heaviest trunk line.
		While at one time numerous cities operated this mode of transport, it is uncommon today in North America, though it is still a common form of transport in many European and Asian cities, generally occupying the niche between street railways and diesel-powered buses.
