Tourist trolley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Tourist trolley, also called a road trolley, is a rubber tired bus (usually diesel fueled, sometimes compressed natural gas) made to resemble an old-style streetcar. Tourist trolleys are becoming increasingly popular in cities large and small.^{[citation needed]} Tourist trolleys are used by both municipal and private operators. Municipal operators may mix tourist trolleys in with the regular service bus fleet to add more visitor interest or attract attention to new routes, but more commonly tourist trolleys are run by private operators to carry tourists to popular sightseeing destinations.
