The transport users' association in Fnaut Ile-de-France (FLDF) is lobbying local politicians to consider trolleybuses as a replacement for diesel buses, according to a report in Ville Rail Transport.
FLDF’s study includes the investment and operation, determination of priority lines and estimation of implementation timeframes of the trolleybus which it has presented to the region’s president Valérie Pécresse in the form of a letter. It believes trolley buses present lower technological risk than the various models of battery buses being tested or have yet to be tested.
The letter recalls trolleybuses as a proven solution that there has been high satisfaction in the French networks that have kept them.
