trolley driver

Cable car pilot

A trolley driver operates a trolley—a streetcar or tram that runs on tracks through city streets, typically powered by overhead electrical wires.

The term appears in historical contexts when trolleys were common urban transit, and in cities where they still operate: The trolley driver announced each stop along the route.
