Who could possibly care enough about this to write so much on something of so little meaning? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.55.240.89 (talk) 10:26, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently, you don't have much appreciation for history and historical preservation. Granted, most people couldn't care less about trolleybuses, but these trolleybuses have been declared a National Historic Monument (and also hold various worldwide distinctions for this transportation mode, which is used in more than 300 other cities). That alone makes them worthy of this much coverage on Wikipedia. SJ Morg (talk) 12:29, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ignore him. This IP editor is a serial vandal. Because the comment was not addressed to improvement of the article, I would have removed it had it not already been replied to. TJRC (talk) 21:41, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
