Most were Japanese buses that  were donated to Servicio de Transportes El\u00e9ctricos by the Kansai Electric Power Company in Japan in 1994, for possible operation, which never came to fruition, and in 2000 they were repurposed by Cuauht\u00e9moc borough in a programme to create educational centers. However, the Trolebuses Educativos programme lasted only a few months. Some of the trolleybuses remained in use as simple reading rooms, but others sat abandoned until 2005, when the \u201cGaler\u00eda Troleb\u00fas\u201d (Trolleybus Gallery) was begun to promote non-traditional art projects.  The gallery ceased operations in 2009 due to financial problems, but the buses continued to be used for art projects until about 2014. Two other trolleybuses involved were not Japanese vehicles.The three Japanese trolleybuses were part of a group of nine that were donated to Mexico’s Servicio de Transportes El\u00e9ctricos in the mid-1990s, for possible use in service on the city’s trolleybus system, and were transported to Mexico City between 1994[1] and 1997, but ultimately were never placed in service.[2] The trolleybuses were built between 1964 and 1968 by Mitsubishi as Models 100 and 200 for the Kansai Denryoku company and operated on the Kanden Tunnel Trolleybus line. The two models are distinguished by the number of doors: one and two, respectively.[3] All of the trolleybuses have doors only on their left sides (except for a small emergency exit door near the rear), because Japan is a country where traffic drives on the left, which made their configuration impractical for operation in Mexico City. In late 1994, STE rebuilt the first unit, No. 117, for right-hand traffic[4] \u2013 with doors on the right and steering wheel on the left \u2013 but judged the conversion to be too expensive.[5] No other vehicles were converted, and none of the nine ever entered service.[2]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4  One of the trolleybuses when it was still painted for the “Trolebuses Educativos” programme, in 2011. This is the bus’s right side, and the trolley poles have been swung around to point towards the front end.In spring 2000, all were donated to Cuauht\u00e9moc borough for use as children’s educational centers and reading rooms placed near libraries, in a programme known as the \u201cTrolebuses Educativos\u201d programme.[5][6] That programme ended after only three months, at the end of August 2000, and some of the trolleybuses were moved to storage, while others remained on the street, disused.[6] (One, No. 118, returned to STE, but no longer operational.)[2]  Some were returned to use later as children’s reading rooms,[7] but others sat abandoned in various parts of Mexico City, mainly still in the Cuauht\u00e9moc borough.[8] In 2012, there were three that remained in use for art projects, one permanently parked in Colonia Hip\u00f3dromo by Parque Espa\u00f1a, one in Colonia Roma next to Plaza Luis Cabrera and one next to Parque M\u00e9xico in Colonia Condesa.[3]When serving the Kanden Tunnel Trolleybus line, the buses travelled through a tunnel between Ogizawa and Kurobe Dam in the Toyama Prefecture, and the one now at Parque Espa\u00f1a has references to this history on the sign on its windshield.[3] The Kanden Tunnel bus line still operates, but battery-powered buses replaced the trolleybuses in 2018\u201319.The vehicles were donated to Cuauht\u00e9moc in 2000. Initially they sat abandoned until the Galer\u00eda Troleb\u00fas project.[8]Table of Contents       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Galer\u00eda Troleb\u00fas[edit]Post-Galer\u00eda[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Galer\u00eda Troleb\u00fas[edit]From 2000 and 2005, the three buses sat abandoned until Ariadna Ramonetti discovered them and worked to create the Galer\u00eda Troleb\u00fas (Trolleybus Gallery) in cooperation with the Cuauht\u00e9moc borough to promote non-traditional art projects.[8][9] Artists who worked with the vehicles from 2005 to 2009 included Karen Cordero, Ana Elena Mallet, Santiago Espinoza de los Monteros and Antonio Calera.[9] Some of the art projects included light and sound.[8]In 2006, Montiel Klint inhabited the trolleybus at the north end of Plaza Luis Cabrera in Colonia Roma, blocked from view for two months with only eight photographs on the outside of the bus for visitors to see. The interior of the bus was covered with about 5,000 paper cups to isolate it from the outside. The work was called the Galeria Experimental de Arte (Experimental Gallery of Art).[10] \u201cSuspended Black\u201d by V\u00edctor Noxpango had one of the trolleybuses elevated on six hydraulic jacks and painted completely black.[11] After artist Israel Meza Moreno created a work called Nido de Malvivientes in 2007 with one of the trolleybuses, the Fundaci\u00f3n Jumex commissioned a similar work, which was bought by a private collector and later acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in New York.[citation needed] The work consisted of covering the interior of the trolleybus with cardboard pieces on which phrases from young thieves whom the artists had interviewed were written. The windows were covered with newspaper front pages with violent headlines.[9] Alvaro Verduzco’s work was called \u201cT\u00fanel\u201d (Tunnel) in 2009, which used a cone made of cardboard with the bus to create the illusion of infinity.[12]The gallery ceased operations due to financial difficulties. The various projects that took place during that time drew both praise and criticism from the residents of the various neighborhoods. The art projects were best received in Colonia Roma and least in Colonia Condesa.[9]Post-Galer\u00eda[edit]  Japanese trolleybus at the north end of Plaza Luis Cabrera, in Colonia Roma, in 2012After 2009, the three trolleybuses remained in their respective locations for some time. The borough government still allowed artists, community members and even advertisers to paint the buses periodically, painting over whatever was there previously. In February 2012, the trolleybus in Colonia Hip\u00f3dromo was painted by Japanese artist Fumiko Nakashima with her work given the title of \u201cDoble Vida\u201d or \u201cDouble Life.\u201d[3] The work was to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Japan earthquake and tsunami, along with a ceremony on March 11, 2012.[13]  The work was part of a public art program called Haru ga kita (Spring comes) en M\u00e9xico under this artist along with musician Emiliano Isamu. It was sponsored by the Garros Galer\u00eda in Mexico City, the Fundaci\u00f3n Jap\u00f3n M\u00e9xico and the Cuauht\u00e9moc borough.[3][14]  The TATSA-rebodied Marmon-Herrington trolleybus (former STE No. 5122), one of only two non-Japanese trolleybuses painted as public art, in 2012. It was at the south end of Plaza Luis Cabrera, but was removed in 2014.Two trolleybuses that were used as canvasses for public art in Colonia Hip\u00f3dromo (in Condesa) or Colonia Roma were not former Japanese vehicles. One is a MASA trolleybus built for STE in the 1980s.  It was parked as an art installation in the southern part of Parque M\u00e9xico until early 2009, then moved east to\u00a0Calle Toluca behind the Jard\u00edn Ram\u00f3n L\u00f3pez Velarde, where it remained until 2014. The other vehicle, formerly STE No. 5122, is an American-built Marmon-Herrington trolleybus whose chassis was built in 1948 but which was retrofitted with a new, modern body \u2013 with a slanted front end shape \u2013 in 1993 by a company named TATSA (Tanques de Acero Trinity S.A.).[4] In 1997, it was converted to compressed natural gas[15] and its trolley poles removed, but by 2001 it was no longer in STE’s fleet.[7] By late 2004, it was in use as a children’s reading room in Cuauht\u00e9moc.[7] Later, between 2010\/2011 and 2014, it was parked at the south end of Plaza Luis Cabera and used as an artistic canvas, wearing a few different artistic designs during that period.See also[edit]References[edit]^ Trolleybus Magazine (TM) No. 199 (January\u2013February 1995), pp. 21 and 23.
