We had trolley busses here in Wellington NZ for decades. The network needed an upgrade so our shortsighted council ripped it down while promising battery buses to replace the trolleys. We ended up with old, dirty, diesels chugging round our city for years, an I'm not sure we've gotten rid of them all yet. It was a disaster.
I hate that they were taken out. I rode on the as a kid regularly, it was always a little adventure when the driver had to reset the runners
Same in Dunedin!
