David, that bus that appeared during the video wasn't a trolleybus. The
trolleybus conversion has only just started with two routes out in the
suburbs. The bus system in Prague basically serves the suburbs, connecting
further out from the centre with the trams and metro which do the job of
serving the city centre exclusively. However, there are a couple of bus
routes that do touch on the city centre, one of them being the bus 176
appearing in the video. This serves the heights of Strahov Stadium, 500
feet above the other side of the river, the altitude of which is a bit
beyond the reach of the tram and metro networks - though is a good excuse
for a ride on the funicular that also serves it.
