Current bus line 15 is converted to trolleybus operation. The line is 9 km long, of which 2 km between stops Výstaviště and Poliklinika Jih lack overhead wires and will be covered in battery mode. 14 of the 35 new Škoda 33Tr SOR trolleybuses equipped with traction batteries have been delivered to date. This brings an end to the regular operation of Škoda 15Tr in České Budějovice and all of Czechia. Farewell trips are planned on 2 May when trolleybuses 27, 48 and 50 will operate the whole day on lines 2, 3 and 9.
