Ad boasting about the city's transition from trolleys to buses, probably from the 1930s.

In January 1935, Mayor LaGuardia had pronounced trolleys “as dead as sailing ships." The big switch from rail to rubber began at that time, although trolleys would hang on in other boroughs for another twenty years. Nowadays, trolleys (which exist in modern form in many European cities) are seen as a progressive alternative to fossil fuel-burning buses.
