One of the few places where electric trolleybuses (#bus getting power from electrical lines above the road) are still running, #Bergen, Norway seems to be phasing them out towards 2030.

The reason is, simply put, that battery buses have become so reliable that updating the specialised trolley line systems gets too expensive: https://www.bt.no/politikk/i/5E1jbm/foreslaar-aa-avvikle-trolleybussene-i-bergen

@tanketom They could do as Lyon https://www.urban-transport-magazine.com/en/first-hess-lightram-19-in-service-lyon-significantly-expands-its-trolleybus-system/ and combine it with a system where the busses can do a in-motion charging. This would probably be cheaper and more efficient than trying to do charging by induction.

@aslakr I think they already do that on the routes that have trolleylines only part of the way – the newest Bergen trolleybuses are from 2020 and have batteries to run for 11km without line power: https://bussmagasinet.no/de-nye-solaris-trolleybussene-er-kommet-til-bergen/

@tanketom har du mer info om dette her? Har ikke BT-abo lenger
Og hva betyr det at vanlige batteribusser er gode nok nå? Jeg trodde det var grunnen hvorfor linje 3,4,5 ikke er elektriske? Dobbel lengde, ingen elektronisk ledning over motorveien

@tanketom Takk, hyggelig av deg!
Teit at det egentlige spørsmålet mitt ikke blir besvart. Men det er vel meget naiv å etterspørre konsepter fra politikker
H. L. Tofte har sikkert svaret
