The diesel-hydraulic busses couldn't climb the hills at all when I was
there last. All the routes going over the steep stuff were trolleys
(trackless trolley is redundant, if it's on tracks, it's a streetcar,
not a trolley), and they handled it well. Vancouver, BC has a similar
issue, though the steep stuff doesn't hit until you hit the outskirts
of town well past the end of the electrified grid, so your closest
stop is at the bottom of the hill and you get to go hike.
