Overall: Approving ALT0 and ALT3. ALT1 is interesting, but I think the hook might give the impression that the trolleybus was continually circling around the statue, when in fact it was used only as a bus turnaround. ALT2 doesn't sound too interesting; this is a given if it was the first-ever trolleybus route in Wuhan. ALT4 might be too niche because it requires readers to actively make the association between electrification and communism. Epicgenius (talk) 23:21, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
