Given every city has busses, I would think focusing on the would be better. Much more likely to electrify busses than roll out new rail based transit.

Idk battery electric buses have tire pollution and dirty batteries. (At least with catenary the battery is minimized) And the battery ones still use diesel for heating in northern winters. Trolleys don’t have either of those problems.
