#1 First there were streetcars, powered by overhead wires. They went everywhere! But there tracks were bumpy, so some places got electric busses, powered off the wires. Then diesel-powered busses went more places where the wires didn't go, so the wires came down - for progress. Then some big cities got federal dollars to construct new trolleys powered off overhead wires, but called Light Rail Transit.

So China has taken the next step and replaced the old-fashioned wires with their modern batteries. Progress!

#3 Not so subtle ploy to sell more busses.
Supporting the 'need' for mobility during battery refueling will require more or reduced operating hours and routes.

#4 Boston still has some "Trackless Trolleys" running in parts of the city and surrounding towns. Not as many as there used to be, but they are still there.
