Trams are surely better, but the simple infrastructure and relative simplicity of the drive train make trolley often cheaper than a diesel bus. Trolley buses with a small battery can also deviate from standard lines or bridge small areas between trolley lines.

Trolleybuses are the best compromise because they can (and in my country/city do) work as diesel/battery buses
