There is clearly something to be said for Electric/trolley buses.
They are still very much in use in Boston, MA and San Francisco, CA.

And Seattle, WA and Metro Vancouver, BC.

And much of Eastern Europe.

And Mendoza in Argentina. May be unique in Southern South America.

With (at least some of their fleet) about 80 recycled Flyers from
Vancouver, BC.

They were shipped to a port in Chile, then over the Trans-Andean
Highway.

Which is famed in cycling circles as having the longest downhill section
in the world, something like 60 miles continuous downgrade travelling
west to east.

Interesting, they were still using the Solingen vehicles last time I was
