The Ashgabat trolleybus system formed part of the public transport network in Ashgabat, the capital city of Turkmenistan. It was the only trolleybus system ever in that country.^[1]

History

Opened on 19 October 1964,^[1]^[2] the system was operated during the Soviet era by various Soviet-built trolleybuses, which by 2011 had all been withdrawn.^[3] The system closed at the end of 2011, with the last day of service being 31 December 2011.^[4]^[2]

Lines

In 2011, its final year of operation, the system was made up of the following seven lines: 1, 2, 2A, 3, 5, 7 and 8.

Fleet

In 2011, the Ashgabat trolleybus fleet was made up exclusively of Škoda 14TrM trolleybuses, introduced to the fleet in 2000^[3] and financed by the World Bank.^[2]
