    Hi, All!

    Hi Brother,
    ...Greets from my Telegram app!

    In one Russian-language car echo, the question pops up: "Have Americans ever seen a trolleybus?"

    With the help of the google-fiend (errr, friend) ..it looks like trollybuses have been in use in USA and Canada since the early 1900's in city/urban areas. They are in use in many cities to this day. So, I'd say that "ever seen" (meaning, never seen) is unlikely by people living in or visiting urban centers. Why the concern?

    Ciao!

    Yes, but they are not as common as they probably are in other parts of the world.

    Hello Brother,

    In one Russian-language car echo, the question pops up: "Have
    Americans ever seen a trolleybus?"

    Vancouver uses trolley buses as well as diesel. All of the "In town" routes use trolley buses and the routes that head out of town use diesel since the trolley lines end at the city limits.

    We used to have a lot of them here in Brazil, but they
    were deactivated a few years ago.
