The Lausanne trolleybus system ((フランス語:Réseau de trolleybus de Lausanne)) forms part of the public transport network of Lausanne, in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland. The system has been in operation since 1932〔Murray, Alan (2000). ''World Trolleybus Encyclopaedia'', p. 73. Yateley, Hampshire, UK: Trolleybooks. ISBN 0-904235-18-1.〕 and is the third-oldest surviving trolleybus system in the world, after those of Shanghai and Philadelphia. Today, the system is the largest in Switzerland; it is supplemented by the Lausanne Metro, and by various conventional bus routes. The system is operated by Transports publics de la région lausannoise (TL) – formerly ''Tramways Lausannois'' – and comprises 10 trolleybus lines, serving not only Lausanne, but also the neighbouring municipalities of Le Mont-sur-Lausanne, Lutry, Paudex, Prilly, Pully and Renens. Following some line closures, the system no longer serves Cugy, Epalinges and Froideville. ==History== Opened on 2 October 1932, the Lausanne system was only the second trolleybus system to open in Switzerland, preceded by the rural Fribourg–Farvagny trolleybus system.〔〔Dölling, Gerhard (1993). ''Straßenbahnatlas Schweiz 1993'', pp. 60, 112–114. Berlin: Arbeitsgemeinschaft Blickpunkt Straßenbahn e.V. ISBN 3-926524-13-8.〕 That line closed earlier in 1932. The Lausanne system was therefore the country's only trolleybus system at the time of its opening, and it retained this distinction until the opening of the Winterthur trolleybus system, in 1938.〔 The Lausanne system's first line was between Lausanne railway station and Ouchy. In 1938–1939, a number of additional lines were opened, and between 1938 and 1964 the system gradually replaced the Lausanne tramway network. On 9 April 1951, the tram line to Montheron was replaced by a trolleybus line. On 7 January 1964, trolleybus line 7 replaced tram line 9, which had been closed the previous day. By that year, there were 10 trolleybus lines in Lausanne. On 1 June 1969, a suburban trolleybus line to Le Chalet-à-Gobet was launched. On 3 June 1973, line 5 was extended to Epalinges, and on 1 June 1975, an extension of line 9 was opened to Lutry. On 2 June 1991, an extension was built to Bourdonnette, after which line 2 was discontinued. A day later, line 15 was extended to Coudraie. 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 Lausanne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
