I've oft wondered why they don't use LPG for busses? Virtually no
pollution other than CO2. Engines are much quieter too.

abroad it's fairly common to see CNG powered busses, the gas tanks

on the roof under a fiberglass hump,

wouldent trolley busses be even better?
The overhead cables spoil the look of the streets.

Not as much as how tram lines are a screwup.

My mate says that trolley coaches are the answer

Diesel whnn they cant and two wires when they can. Up the fast lane of
the M1. He used to work for a train company 'Just a lot of people who
never grew out of train sets: hugely expensive way to move stuff around:
roads much cheaper'

I can remember an article in Eagle (1950s) about a Swiss trolley bus with
an enormous flywheel to use for motive power when there were no overhead
wires.
