Much as with Brooklyn, the trackless trolley network in Philadelphia included only a handful of routes. Unlike Brooklyn, where the last St. Louis trackless units ran in 1960, the City of Brotherly Love still runs "juice buses" in the New Millenium, with some brand new trackless New Flyers currently on order.
Check them out at the following link:

Excellent site that I was unaware of. Thanks for putting me on to it, Bob. While I like seeing the old TB's better, it's good to know that Philadelphia still has them.

Somewhere in Ohio, (i think Dayton) they still run trackless Skodas like San Fran.

Dayton is correct. (More info here)

The only four cities in the USA that currently operate trolleybuses are San Francisco, Boston, Dayton, and Philly.
