I still remember taking the number 3 bus back in 2006 when it was electric trolley, it was January and sparks were flying everywhere. Possibly because of the ice buildup on the wires. Vancouver lent "Vanna" to Edmonton sometime later for them to test out and I didn't blame ETS one bit for discontinuing the trolleys.
I do wonder what's the range of these electric buses when they have to run heaters?
