Transit’s Stepchild – The Trolley Coach by Mac Sebree and Paul Ward

Copyright Special 58 Volume 30 Number 1 Summer, 1973. Published by Interurban

Hearled as the silent savior of an industry anxiously searching for aprogressive image, the trolley bus came on powerfully. City after city adopted the electric bus in an era innocent of ecological alarms. The Trolley Coach was faster, cheaper and better.

Then the scene changed again. The silent savior became the industry’s stepchild as rising costs and onrushing diesel technology, along with declining ridership, sent the TC chasing the streetcars to near-oblivion.

In this book the authors cover it all, from the late 19th Century European experiments, 1910 revenue line near Hollywood to the unexpected neo-electric revival of the early 1970s.
