Toronto had some when I lived there in the late 1960's - the system overlapped with the PCC cars and extended into some of the suburbs.

North America has the following systems: Vancouver, stable, without expansion plans. Edmonton, ditto. Seattle, replaced dual mode buses in the subway to be used jointly with light rail and temporarily closed, with diesel hybrids that will use battery power in the subway. But have expanded the main Trackless system by new line to Ballard. Dayton, Ohio, stable. San Francisco, stable. Philadelphia, few lines left, shaky. Boston area, dual-mode downtown, small remains of a vast system centered on Harvard Square, Cambridge, stable, new vehicles just purchased.
Where light rail cannot be afforded or is impractical, they are great.
Wish we had them in Jerusalem. Less noise. My Dad was born in Yassi (Yash) in 1882 and moved to the USA at age 12 in 1894.
I know this a train forum, but any trolleybuses (trackless trollyes) fans around here?
Here, in Romania, we have a lot of cityes using trolleybuses. The new, non articualated trolleybuses are fast, have good acceleration, they produce a noise level smaller then buses, they don't produce smoke, and since they have electric, not internal combustion engines they are cooler inside then buses.
