San Francisco Trolleybus system

The San Francisco Trolleybus system consists of electric buses that use overhead wires and poles to draw power, providing flexible and quiet transit within the city. Operating since the 1930s, these trolleybuses serve many key neighborhoods, offering a reliable alternative to streetcars and motor buses. They are environmentally friendly, emitting no local pollution, and are well-integrated into the city's public transportation network, including buses and cable cars. Designed for urban mobility, the trolleybus system helps reduce congestion and promotes sustainable transit options for residents and visitors alike.
