]]> Sun Jun 19 2005 Japan: Kurobe Dam Trolleybuses http://publictransport.africa-asia.fotopic.net/c504592.html Public transportation by the trolley buses was introduced to Japan in 1932 in Kyoto, and other cities like Nagoya, Tokyo, Yokohama, Kawasaki, and Osaka followed the move. However, these cities gave up this mode of public transportation, because of its limited capacity of mass transit and the lack of mobility features. And the trolley buses were entirely gone cut of the sight in 1972 when the city of Yokohama decided to quit. At present, therefore, the trolley buses are now being operated only on the access roads to the Kurobe dam of the Kamsai Electric Power company. Kurobe dam was built in the Japan Alps district which is at the highest elevations in Japan and designated as a natural park area. We needed a tunnel for moving the materials and resources for building this dam, and this tunnel bee been used as an access road for the tourism purpose after the completion of the dam facilities. In order to preserve the beautiful natural environment and prevent the adverse influence, by the emission gas, diesel-engined or other engine-powered vehicles are prohibited from use in these park areas. So we has selected and operated the trolley busses. This trolley bus system is now utilized by about one million tourists every year. This information is partly based on information I received in february 1983 form the Kamsai Electric Power company. The 6 original buses were replaced in 1994 by 9 new buses build by Mistubishi.
