are still 340-350 trolleybus systems around the world, despite significant numbers of
closures during the late twentieth century. In particular the UK became completely
trolleyless (except for museums) in 1972, unfortunately just before the energy crises of
the 1970's and the upsurge of Green awareness which may have saved them. It may surprise
many people from the western world how many systems there are, and that during the 1990's,
for example, more systems opened (37) than closed (29). This is probably because most
current systems are in what was the Eastern Bloc (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and
former USSR Republics) and far-flung places like China. I may get to list all the operating systems here at some stage, but for the moment a few statistics will have to suffice: In 1998 systems running in various parts of the world were as follows:
There were also 14 new systems under construction (in the former USSR or Eastern Europe). I welcome comments on this website or on the subject of trolleybuses generally. News of systems from around the world is gratefully accepted. Contact me at - |
