The Arnhem trolleybus system is the trolleybus system in the city of Arnhem. It is unique in the Netherlands as the only trolleybus system still operating in that country. It opened on 5 September 1949.[1]
Active routes[edit]
The current network consists of the following routes:
- 1 De Laar West - Velp
- 2 Centraal Station - De Laar West
- 3 Burgers Zoo - Het Duifje
- 5 Schuytgraaf - Presikhaaf
- 6 Centraal Station - Elsweide/HAN
- 7 Geitenkamp - Rijkerswoerd
- 352 Arnhem Velperplein - Wageningen
Formerly, route 4 was part of the trolleybus network, but it became part of route 2 in 1950, after no more than four months of existence. The current line 4 in Arnhem is a CNG bus, but on a different route. The same goes for route 9 , which was discontinued in 2002 (divided between routes 5 and 7). The number 9, too, is now used on a different route in the CNG bus network. Route 7 is the second with this number, the first one being a rush hour line running on the central part of line 1. Since 2024, route 352 is part of the trolleybus network.
