definitely not the right move! trolleybuses can easily pass other buses. modern trolleybuses have significant off-wire capability, so if MBTA's maintenance is really so bad they're getting dewired in the rain, operators can be keep driving until they get a chance to rewire the poles, or MBTA can put up pole catchers and they can be rewired automatically. MBTA should be putting up more wires, not taking down what they currently have. Battery buses aren't much cheaper than trolleybuses, if it all (they have significant infrastructure costs too), and in every other aspect trolleybuses are far superior
