Kronoloogia: Tianshui

Tianshui Tram (via Tianshui Urban Construction Investment Company) wins the bid for 12 AnsaldoBreda/CRRC Sirio trams and associated spare parts that were left unused after the Zhuhai Light Rail ceased operations. Total cost of this purchase was approximately just $2.41 million USD.

Tianshui Tram Stage 2 commences operation, extending line 1 on the west (Jingkunxijunsanzhong—Wulipu) end and creating a branch line from Yangpo Dong to Tianshui Airport.

Opening of phase 1 of the tram network from Wulipu to railway station. Length — 12.9 km.

Trolleybus operation in Tianshui comes to an end. The trolleybus system had an unreliable power supply, compounded by the use of steel overhead wires, as opposed to copper. As the trolleybuses were still relatively new at the time, two trolleybuses and various electrical equipment were exchanged with four buses from Lanzhou.

The trolleybus system in Tianshui is extended on both ends, now running from Dongshilipu to Tianshuijun. Two new Shanghai trolleybuses are procured for the extended route.

Tianshui trolleybus system commences operation on an east-west oriented 5.36㎞ trolleybus line, operated by a single retrofitted trolleybus produced by Tianshui Automobile Repair Factory. Tianshui becomes the fifth Chinese city to operate a trolleybus.
