Feature Trolleybus Driver
Welcome to the Feature Trolleybus Driver page! This page is dedicated to the proud and professional trolleybus drivers on the streets of Edmonton in their trolley buses. They provide transit service with their trolley's with pride and confidence to citizens of Edmonton. This page was created in the light that Edmonton city council made a decision in 2004 to keep the electric trolley buses running until 2008. A common valid complaint to this is that trolley's are not wheelchair accessible and thus provide a varying degree of difficulty for strollers, elders and young children. The solution, low floor trolley buses are available! Vancouver is replacing their 200 plus fleet of 1982 and 1983 trolley buses with new trolley buses! In fact, the prototype has been built and delivered as of July 2005. Edmonton can replace their fleet of trolley buses built in 1982 with new trolley buses too! Trolley buses provide quick, swift, clean, efficient and quiet public transportation. Trolleybus service deserves a place in Edmonton's streets. Spread the word!

His name is Mark, he has been working with ETS for 19 years. He provides friendly, courteous service to passengers and of course enjoys driving trolley buses! His favorite moment is "when my children were born". His pet peeve are People who want a free ride and promise to pay *next* time.. His favorite quote is a blank at this moment.
