In the Netherlands it is called a tram.
Same here. We have one in my city but it was constructed specifically as a tourist attraction.
A trolley bus here is an electrical bus, it it powered through power lines
that hang above the pavement, but it rides like normal busses, so there is no rails.
Only in the city of Arnhem.
There are electric buses just like these in Wellington. The great thing about them is that they're quiet. That's a real bonus as diesel buses can keep you awake if you're staying in the central city. The pickup thing sometimes jumps off the cables and the driver has to get out and restore the connection (I've never seen that happen though).
In these parts a trolley is what you put your shopping into at the supermarket. Many of the supermarkets are starting to call them trundlers for some reason.
