There’s got to be a reliable equipment manufacturer out there with San Francisco’s trolly bus and cable car network being the largest in the us 🤔

I would imagine there’s plenty of Manufacturers for overhead wire in general just not the specific ones that Metro is using. And if you’re talking about switching over everything to a new manufacturer and a new style of overhead. Most importantly the special work like track switches and the poles on the buses themselves you get to the point where well if we are already going to be replacing the fleet and then having to replace the cables on top of it and pure electric is becoming viable why not just do that
