It would be tried in several European cities, but only three lines of this type were still running five years later.

Oh wow! This still is very European styled. I wonder how the Seattle and NYC battery electric bus orders may change from this design. #Solaris #Vancouver #Trolleybus

Trolejbusová trasa v Praze, která bude brzy uvedena do provozu: Na Knížecí – U Waltrovky. Místo dosavadní autobusové linky 137 tam bude jezdit trolejbusová linka 52. Pod trolejemi je jen větší část trasy, část bez trolejí (Na Knížecí – Santoška) jsem nefotil […]

Test du tout nouveau #trolleybus Tb12 fraîchement inauguré. Quel confort. Et quelle qualité des espaces publics qui ont été rénovés à cette occasion. Des travaux nécessaires, pas que pour la ligne de transports en commun. Des travaux vite oubliés. @sytralmobilites.bsky.social

🎉Bienvenue TB12 !

🔍 La ligne de Tram Bus TB12 @TCL_reseau a été mise en service ce samedi 28 février 2026 à 13h. Elle relie Gare Part-Dieu Vivier Merle à Kimmerling-Genêts avec un tracé de 5 km comportant 12 stations.

Encore des réglages de feux sur #T6nord ? Oui, car c'est au tour du #Tb12 d'être mis en service samedi 28/02. Sur le tronc commun des 2 lignes, il faut donc régler sa priorité aux feux en coordination avec nos confrères qui s'occupent du projet de #trolleybus et #keolisbuslyon 🚎

Ah super :)
Des pannonceaux M12 sont en cours de pose/posés sur la ligne 1 du Trobobus.

Also while riding round the City tonight: fun chat with a #SFMuni #trolleybus driver rewiring her poles after they didn't track through the hairpin turn at Market & Clayton.
