Double articulated trolleybuses have been in use in Switzerland for some
time. Dunno what sort of streets they use them on.

Ones with not huge amounts of other traffic, quite a lot of mopeds
buzzing around, and very few cyclists.

Everywhere? Some Swiss cities have lots of cyclists.


To be honest, I've only seen a couple of Swiss cities that have such
trolleybuses, but they are hilly, and thus not much fun to cycle in.


I don't think that lakeside Lucerne is particularly hilly?

Never been there but Geneva and Lausanne are both hilly (the latter
having a specialty railway from the shore to the town centre).
