The city plans to close its trolleybus system in the coming years and replace it with electric buses.

In addition to the well-known arguments that trolleybuses are an “obsolete technology”, the municipality has wanted for several years to pedestrianize Domnească Street, a street that currently runs trolleybuses.

No deadline has been announced for when the trolleybuses will stop running, but it is expected that the start of work on this street will coincide with the publication of a tender for new electric buses.
