From trams and trolleybuses, all of the way up to the new low emission buses launched just last year, buses certainly have undergone a transformation over the decades.
Take a stroll down memory lane:
1. 1950s
The Portsmouth Trolleybus service was first introduced in August 1934 and covered most of the island and up to Cosham. The trolleybuses themselves were like normal double decker buses but were powered by overhead power cables like trams. The trolleybus service continued until 1963 and then the wires were torn down.
