Consider yourself very lucky to have this opportunity to hop on one of the 100 GM / Boveri Brown Canada HR150G Trolleybuses ever built! These trolleybuses are genuinely zero-emission-free and 100% environmental-friendly. They are also very quiet from both inside and outside. The trolleybus system in Edmonton is involved in a heated debate at the moment as the city is trying to discontinue the operation of trolleybuses in Edmonton. If you would like to show your support for the operation of Edmonton's trolley system, I sincerely ask you to check out the website of the Edmonton trolley coalition at this website: www.trolleycoalition.org Show your support and voice your opinion NOW!
