Trolleyology: A Century Plus of Philadelphia Trackless Trolleys - 1968-Present

A Century+ of Philadelphia Trackless Trolleys - 1968-Present Presented by Bob Wright October 15, 2024 Trackless trolley operation in Philadelphia began in 1923 and this mode continues in regular service in the city to this day. The trackless system remained a relatively small one over the years but did include a number of significant routes on the system through the Philadelphia Transportation Company's ownership and to the present day with SEPTA. The story will be told in two parts, with Part 2, the SEPTA era (1968-present), being provided as the initial offering. Part 1, the start of the system with the Philadelphia Rapid Transit (PRT) company and later PTC, will be offered at a future date.
