Fig. 21. Trackless Trolley Passing Traffic Team in a Crowded Thoroughfare Filovia System. In Italy trackless trolley lines are very highly regarded, a total of more than 50 miles of line being operated to the entire satisfaction of the municipalities. In some cities subsidies are even paid for establishing such lines. A special system has been developed called the Filovia System, which differs from the others described in that, as a collector, a four-wheeled truck runs under-neath the wires, held in place by a trolley pole in the usual manner. The possible deviation on either side of the direct route is 10 feet. The cars are usually equipped with two 15-horsepower motors and have a carrying capacity of 20 to 24 passengers. 399
