The first trolleybus line in Athens opened in 1953 and since 1988 there are links between the systems in Athens and Piraes. In the last years much was done by trolleybus management and staff to modernize the infrastructure as well keeping the ageing fleet in good condition. All frogs and crossings were rebuilt with Electroline (CZ) parts, and trolleybuses will get a general overhaul which they leave as new. It is hoped that politicians recognize the importance of this electric bus system and give funds to further develop it as it occurred in the 1970s and 1980s.
The next steps towards the future of the system are planned:
- purchase of 175 new trolleybuses with IMC technique
- upgrading 42 substations
- replacement of 1500 old poles in the network
There is hope that Athens’ trolleybuses run into a bright future as a form of real electromobility – so necessary in this Megapolis of Attica .
