Pleven and its trolleybus system

Pleven is unique for its trolleybuses bacause the enviroment friendly vehicles cover over 90% of the public transport. 74,5 km electic routes, 14 lines, 70 trolleybuses for a population of 120,000 makes Pleven`s trolleybus system the most developed in Bulgaria and one of the most developed in Europe in terms of density.

The trolleybus service in Pleven was introduced in 1985 and reached its current scale in 1988. There is a project for extention of the system which would turn Pleven into all trolleybus city.
