Wikipedia
trolley coach
A trolleybus (also known as trolley bus, trolley coach, trackless trolley, trackless tram – in the 1910s and 1920s – or trolley) is an electric bus that draws power from dual overhead wires (generally suspended from roadside posts) using spring-loaded trolley poles. Two wires, and two trolley poles, are required to complete the electrical circuit. This differs from a tram or streetcar, which normally uses the track as the return path, needing only one wire and one pole (or pantograph). They are also distinct from other kinds of electric buses, which usually rely on batteries. Power is most commonly supplied as 600-volt direct current, but there are exceptions. Currently, around 300 trolleybus systems are in operation, in cities and towns in 43 countries. Altogether, more than 800 trolleybus systems have existed, but not more than about 400 concurrently.

trolley coach
A trolley coach, also known as a trolley bus, is a type of electric bus that uses overhead wires for power, similar to a streetcar or tram. However, unlike a streetcar or tram, a trolley coach is not restricted to tracks and can navigate normal roadways using rubber tires. It uses two flexible poles (trolley poles) to maintain contact with a pair of overhead wires for electricity.
