Tallinn trolleybus
The Tallinn trolleybus is the only trolleybus operator in Estonia . The trolleybus service in the capital Tallinn was opened on July 6, 1965 and has since supplemented the Tallinn tram, which has existed since 1888 . At that time the city was the last capital of a Soviet republic to be equipped with a trolleybus system.
Trolleybuses in Tallinn, like trams and city buses , are operated by the Tallinna Linnatranspordi AS ( TLT ) municipal transport company. This emerged on July 19, 2012 from the predecessor company Tallinna Trammi- ja Trollibussikoondise AS ( TTTK ).
Lines
The following five lines operate today :
| 1 | Mustamäe - Kaubamaja | 15.9 km |
| 3 | Mustamäe - Kaubamaja | 15.9 km |
| 4th | Keskuse - Balti jaam | 14.3 km |
| 5 | Mustamäe - Balti jaam | 13.9 km |
The former line 8, it ran from Väike-Õismäe to Vabaduse väljak, was abandoned in 2000. The former line 2, it operated on the Mustamäe – Estonia route and was 15.2 kilometers long, was replaced by bus line 24 on December 1, 2012. On January 1, 2016, lines 6 and 7 were also switched to hybrid buses . On May 2, 2017, lines 9 were switched to hybrid buses. The fleet for regular operation was reduced to 51 vehicles as a result of this and by writing off old vehicles of the types 14Tr, 15Tr and 412T. Since then, only low-floor wagons have been used as planned.
