What are trolleybuses?

Illustration of a modern trolleybusTrolleybuses run on rubber tyres like a regular bus but they are powered by electricity from overhead wires.

Environment

They have fast, smooth acceleration and are clean, quiet and don’t pollute the local environment.

Quicker, more reliable journeys

The NGT trolleybuses would use dedicated lanes wherever possible to help avoid congestion, making journeys quicker and more reliable.

Accessible

The vehicles would be modern, easily accessible for wheelchairs and buggies and will be fully compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).
