Trolley Bus

We still have a few trolley buses here in Boston. Although we call them trackless trolleys.

Old passing new.

I know that SEPTA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEPTA_Bus_Operations#Trackless_trolley_.28trolleybus.29), Philadelphia's mass-transit system, runs some trackless trolleys. Never knew what they were called before.

(Does anyone else think "SEPTA" is kind of a vomit-inducing name? It's just too close to "septic" for comfort. I know it stands for "Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority," but I really think they weren't trying hard enough when they named it.)
