The Herald reports on - and posts photos of - a trolley that had one or two wheels decide they didn't really like the track they were on near Reservoir around 7:30 a.m. None of the passengers on board was injured, and service has since resumed.

Really? If there weren't busing, what would you want the passengers to do? Sit on the broken trolley for hours or walk a long distance? Two stops on the Riverside line is not a short distance, especially for anyone with mobility issues.
Only 1 stop.
