  • Trolleybusses and trams are basically indestructible. Normal busses only last like 20 years, electric busses even shorter, but trolleybusses and trams will last 100 years with proper maintenance. The only big wear part is really the tires on trolleybusses, which doesn’t affect trams.

    The main reason why old trams aren’t run anymore is just because they’re a bit small and noisy and not wheelchair accessible. That and car companies convinced cities to pave over their tram lines to be able to sell more cars.
