Trolleybuses in Quito
The Quito trolleybus system is a bus rapid transit line located in Quito, Ecuador, which opened in 1995 and by 2002 was carrying approximately 220,000 passengers per day.〔Webb, Mary (ed.) (2003), ''Jane's Urban Transport Systems 2003-2004'', (UK): Jane's Information Group. ISBN 0-7106-2565-0.〕 It is managed by an agency of the municipality known as Empresa Metropolitana de Servicios y Administración del Transporte (EMSAT) and is operated by Compañía Trolebús Quito, S.A. The service is named (informally) ''El Trole'', Spanish for "The Trolley", meaning trolleybus; this name is shown on signage at stops, and is used in publicity and marketing. Before being a subsystem of a larger bus rapid transit system of Quito known as MetrobusQ, ''El Trole'' was itself a whole system. Its formal name is Corredor Trole or; simply ''Trole'', currently.
==The route==
The trolleybus system is composed of a single 18.7-km line that runs, with a few exceptions, through the part of Ecuador Highway 35 (E 35) that is within Quito. The three segments of E 35 inside Quito are Avenida Diez de Agosto (northern Quito), Calle Guayaquil (center of Quito) and Avenida Pedro Vicente Maldonado (south of Quito). Seven different passenger services, or ''circuitos'', are operated along the trolleybus route, differing in their terminus locations but overlapping one another.
The initial 11.2-km line opened in three stages between 17 December 1995 and 21 April 1996,〔Morrison, Allen. "Railless Rapid Transit in Ecuador". ''Trolleybus Magazine'' No. 208 (July–August 1996), pp. 86–89. National Trolleybus Assn. (UK). ISSN 0266-7452.〕 and connected the ''La "Y"'' district, in northern Quito and near Mariscal Sucre International Airport, to the El Recreo shopping mall (Centro Comercial El Recreo), in southern Quito, via the city center. On 30 April 2000, the line was extended south by 5 km to Morán Valverde. On 19 December 2008, it was extended farther south and east, by 2.5 km, to Quitumbe,〔("El trole va desde hoy a Quitumbe". ) ''El Comercio'', 19 December 2008.〕 where it terminates at a large new intercity-bus station.〔''Trolleybus Magazine'' (UK) No. 284, March–April 2009, p. 37.〕 This latest extension brought the length of the full line to 18.7 km.
Between the Machángara River and the Villa Flora stop, the line originally followed separate streets in opposite directions: southbound along Avenida Cardenal Carlos Maria de la Torre and northbound along Avenida Maldonado, but the section along Cardenal de la Torre was closed in 2003, and the route thereafter has followed Avenida Maldonado in both directions along that section.
