Trolley freight

In addition to trolleybus systems, one trolley-freight (or trolleytruck) system existed, on a route between Mühleberg and Gümmenen, from 1918 to 1922. It had just two trolley-truck vehicles and was used during construction of a power station.[7]

    At a referendum held on 17 June 2007, the cantonal electorate rejected a proposal by trolleybus supporters for retention of the trolleybus system. The electorate accepted a counter-proposal by the cantonal authority to purchase motorbuses to replace the trolleybus fleet. Consequently, the only then-remaining trolleybus line closed in June 2008: Referendum results Archived 2007-12-03 at the Wayback Machine
