EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the nostalgic charm of a trolley bus in the historic Belgian coastal towns of Ostend, Blankenberghe, and Knocke. The trolley bus, a unique blend of a bus and a tram, is depicted here in all its glory, with four beautifully preserved carriages connected in a seamless line. The overhead wires and electric lines are a testament to the bus's electric power source, while the cobblestone road beneath adds to the vintage feel of the scene. The trolley bus was an essential part of the public transport system in this region during the early to mid-20th century. It connected the towns of Ostend, Blankenberghe, and Knocke, providing residents and visitors with an efficient and affordable means of transportation. The buses ran along dedicated tracks, allowing them to smoothly glide through the streets, despite the uneven cobblestones. This photograph is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich history of public transport in Belgium. The trolley bus, with its distinctive design and charm, continues to be a beloved symbol of the area's heritage. Today, it serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our transportation history for future generations to enjoy.
