THE LAST
TROLLEY BUS

When I'm in trouble and totally done
and when all my hope I abandon
I get on the blue trolley bus on the run,
the last one,
at random.

Night trolley, roll on sliding down the street,
around the boulevards keep moving
to pick up all those who are wrecked and in need
of rescue
from ruin.

Night trolley bus will you please open your doors !
On wretched cold nights, I can instance,
your sailors would come, as a matter of course,
to render
assistance.

So many a time they have lent me a hand
to help me get out of grievance...
Imagine, there is so much kindness behind
this silence
and stillness.

Last trolley rolls round the greenery belt
and Moscow, like river, dies down...
the hammering blood in my temples I felt
calms down
calms down.

(Words and Music of Bulat Okudzhava)

We are at city transport vehicles again!...

Even 10-15 years ago we had Russian trolley buses here... Funny creatures, sometimes they shocked the driver...

(Some days ago I read the first trolleys in Berlin got into service in 1882...)

Really???

I only know, ... that the Budapest Metro is the oldest electrified underground railway system on the European continent, and the second-oldest in Europe, predated only by the 1890 City & South London Railway.

Heyy, Dagege, let me intoduce the Hungarian characteristics...
You have to know that small nations apt to see themselves in a funny way: we, as many others, enlarge ourselves, ha-ha.
It is an underground, not a metro (in other words, it was not built by drilling a tunnel but digging a groove), though it is true, it was the first on the continent. The yellow line.

Ok, this Berlin one does not look like a real trolleybus...
