The Butler Transit Authority has sold its trolley bus.
John Paul, the authority’s executive director, said the transit authority sold its trolley, which usually was used only in local parades, for $16,100 in an online auction.
Paul said the trolley was about four years past its useful life and it was seldom brought out of the bus garage.
“Our mechanic told us that to maintain that vehicle was going to be very difficult,” Paul said.
