Edmonton had trolley buses BUT also ended up keeping a large set of diesel buses to be put into service if a trolley line died (ie: electical interruptions were frequent as the Caternay set-up aged)).
They did recognize that failure of a single vehicle could be managed by pushing off the route-- something that they couldn't do with an LRT ( rail) unit.
anyone know how toronto deals with it?
