Mexico City to invest 4 billion pesos in Elevated Trolleybus Line

  Sorry folks,  I cannot copy the link but the Mexico City government is looking at building an elevated trolleybus line.   The elevated trolley bus line will be of concrete construction over a street and will use a fleet of 35 trolleybus who get their power by overhead wire.   The line will link important transit centers.

  I think that this is just great!   As a transit buff, as a child,  I always wondered what an elevated line for street cars and or trolleybus would look like?   Various cities in the United States,  had short streetcar elevated lines.  Boston has a small section and I believe there we several out west like Kansas City.   These were traditional wooden platform and steel elevated lines.   What about a elevated trolleybus line?   Would it look like the Third Avenue El in Manhattan with instead of having tracks it would have wooden boards as a floor supported by iron work?  The Mexico City line looks like a modern grade separated elevated highway with supports for the trolleybus wires.
It looks interesting.   I believe that Mexico City is getting their fleet renewed with Chinese trolleybuses as well.   I wish them lots of luck and in New York City you hear crickets about interesting plans.
