trolley cars
Wired street vehicles
Trolley cars are electric streetcars that draw power from overhead wires through a trolley pole.
They run on tracks embedded in city streets, carrying passengers along fixed routes.
The term is mostly American and somewhat dated—modern transit systems typically call them streetcars or trams.
The old trolley car clanged its bell as it rounded the corner.
