When standing, do you generally hold onto the bars or the loop handles attached to the bars? What did you do this morning if you were on one?

E: Sounds like bars are the popular option here too, for many reasons. Hygiene was a big one I hadn't initially considered. Thanks for answering everyone!

I feel you, I must be the coolest dude in the tram standing in balance in front of the door when nearing my stop 😎

I'm glad that neither of you are taking my Vancouver trolleybus. 😅 The power feeder abruptly disconnects from the catenary every so often causing the bus to suddenly jolt.

Nice ! Euro dude here but when I was in BC I didn’t try this trolleybus, only the sky train.

Must be a funny sight to see the first 5 times, before it gets boring.

Sounds fun! Probably frustrating if that's your everyday commute, but my friends and I enjoy telling each other stories of our transit related disadventures (car drivers being idiots and bus drivers acting accordingly, the metro automated system being stupid, stuff of this kind), so we'd probably like that.

You hate it while it's happening, but it makes for some pretty silly memories. And most importantly it helps break the monotony of your commute.
