The days of the old Breda and Phantom electric trolleybuses are numbered. Here’s a sneak peak at one of the new 40-foot low-floor electric trolleybuses. Built by New Flyer, the bus is wrapped in Metro purple and gold. You should start seeing them in regular service come 2015 in both 40-foot and 60-foot variants.
