The Baku trolleybus system was a system of trolleybuses forming part of the public transport arrangements in Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan, for about 65 years from 1941.〔 ==History== The system's first line was opened on 5 December 1941. It was long, and was operated by 15 trolleybuses. Most of the system's development took place in the 1960s and 1970s; by the first half of the latter decade, the system had 10 lines.〔 In the late 1988s, the system reached its maximum length of , with 32 routes. It also encompassed some neighbouring localities. In 1991, it still had 32 routes, and of overhead wires.〔 Despite the fact that the system was intensively developed up to 1990, it lost popularity among the population, due to its lower quality of service compared with road transport, the Baku Metro and even the Baku tramway network. In particular, the system experienced frequent power outages and trolley pole dewirings.〔 Most of the trolleybus lines were unprofitable due to weak demand; only 6 of the 32 routes were busy and profitable. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the trolleybus system was not given a chance to adapt to a market economy and become profitable. The last operating route, no 16, was closed on 1 July 2006,〔 and dismantled soon afterwards. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trolleybuses in Baku」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
