March 18 marks the day of exploitation of Yerevan trolleybus system

The public transport has first appeared in French streets. Omnibus appeared in Paris in 1662. Those who did not have their own cab or other vehicle, made use of the carriage comprised of 8 seats.

Already in 1801 the first bus in the world was experimented in England. Along with development of the electricity system, the trolleybus was invented.

In the midst of the past century, on 18 March 1949, the first trolleybus began to travel across Yerevan streets. The length of the trolleybus chain in Yerevan in the 1980s was 256 km.
