These videos never grow old. As an 80 year old son of a Boston Elevated, MTA, MBTA and T emploee, I remember the days when every main street in Boston had trolley tracks. I would go to work with my father add stand up front on the type 5s and PCC all over the lines out of the Arborway.
It's so stupid that the T is getting rid of a reasonably environmentally friendly form of transportation in favor of a less environmentally friendly form -- the battery buses have to haul around the weight of their big batteries, and the batteries themselves have to be made of materials that are environmentally damaging to mine and mostly available from unfriendly and unstable places. And even if the T insisted on getting rid of the trackless trolleys, they should have saved them for someone else to use, like for instance in Ukraine, which will likely need replacements for units that have gotten bombed. Anyway, good to see a new one of your videos.

RIP all Neoplan buses. You will be forever missed

I used to like when one of the arms would pop off the wire and the driver would have to get out and try to connect it back on
