Claremont to get a trolley
Claremont's downtown has been booming in recent years with the addition of new developments (including movie theaters). Now the city is talking about a trolley line to get visitors around:
A 1.5-mile trolley-like route that would connect the Village Expansion, Village and Metrolink parking lot was approved Monday night by the city Traffic and Transportation Commission. The system includes a 25-foot, 23-seat trolley-shaped bus that would complete its four-stop circular route in less than 15 minutes, said Scott Carroll, director of community services. The system is planned to run for a three-year trial period, with the trolley-like bus being leased by the city. (From the Daily Bulletin)
That's not a trolley. That's a bus. It just happens to be in shape of a vintage trolley car.
If it doesn't "troll" for anything (like power from the overhead power lines) then it is not a "trolley."
Claremont is not getting a trolley. They are getting a novelty bus.
