The Chambers Street trolley was powered by expensive conduit electric current under the roadway because the typical overhead wires were forbidden in Manhattan. In the 1920s, most lines were replaced with electrically-powered subways and buses with internal combustion engines. Will electric mass transportation make a comeback?
