- King County Metro loaned a trolleybus from Vancouver's TransLink for their Trolley System Evaluation. This bus travelled 8 city blocks using 75% of its emergency battery.

Boy, that's a real mindtrip, seeing a TransLink bus in Seattle. I can think of many, many instances where these buses' emergency batteries would have come in very handy in Seattle! I sure hope Seattle doesn't decide to replace its trolleys with diesel-electric buses...
nice footage! HD videos on Seattle's trolleybuses are rare in RUclips. Please make more and share more with us! Thank you.
It's great that Seattle has decided to test Vancouver's new trolley bus.
It's good that someone in King County decided to try a Vancouver trolleybus on Seattle streets so they can see what a modern trolleybus can do rather than just whine about the upkeep cost of the old trolleybuses. If they like it, they can plan on how to fund the purchase of new buses.

OH MY GOD!!!!! OMG!!! 😱 IS THIS REAL !!!!???? AM I DREAMING!?
Most busses built in North America are made By "New Flyer" these days...New Flyer as well as "Bombadier" have their roots in Canada (Winnipeg) but have expanded all the way down to south of the border USA. so even that accordian bus that you seen? that's a "Flyer". Free trade in effect people.
Gillig is an American bus manufacturer but none of their buses are ever sold in Canada, in my opinion
Let's hope this turns out better than the results of the demo in Edmonton.
So Translink's E40LFRs don't have the Diesel engines like SEPTA's E40LFRs? Don't they use a type of battery?
yes it's 100% battery based
Isn't TransLink the only operator of E60LFRs?
Nice video of a New Flyer E40LFR trolleybus in Seattle,WA and I'm wondering to how this trolley bus made the 140 mile trip on I-5 and BC-99 with the risk of running out battery power, and some trolleybuses do use a light rail pantograph like the one in Vienna
EpicThe112 it was towed
so are the busses being replaced the brightly coloured green and yellow and blue and yellow ones I think there are othe colours too
why was it in Seattle? Doesn't Vancouver already have a trolley bus system?
this bus was on loan from Vancouver, Canada
Wait, do they plan on getting our trolley buses?
That is cursed
You mean King County borrowed a trolleybus - right?
Stanley King, a proponent of trolleybuses in the UK describes trolleybuses as the most civilised form of public transport and I tend to agree with him. Cities with both a strong sense of civic pride and a progressive outlook tend to run them.
Sadly they are found nowhere in the UK anymore. Rather speaks for itself
