Edinburgh Trams
Why not use hybrid trolley buses as an interim measure, until there is enough money is available to fund the laying down of the tracks. I would say that using hybrid trolley buses instead as it would be more flexible. They don’t always require electric to run, and they don’t need the expensive tracks.
