Instead of keeping the Fulton St car line, using recycled trolley poles from abandoned lines, the City chose to go with new buses. Since it could not afford them, they were leased. Then along came WW II and bus production was limited.

The Twins were in pretty rough shape after all the heavy use during WW II and were soon scrapped after the war.
