The Passengers

An old trolleybus becomes a shelter for the homeless

This is no ordinary trolleybus, it's not going anywhere, but the passengers hope it might take them to a better tomorrow. Used as a shelter and meal station, the trolleybus took in its first residents two winters ago. Now it's at the heart of a small trailer park for homeless people. The rules are simple: drink is prohibited and work is encouraged. Anyone who lives by that code is welcome, whatever their past may hold.
