All lines serve the single trunk line through the city center, hypothetically with an average combined 10 minute interval. Due to haphazardly written schedule, however, service can be uneven, with trolleybuses of different services often following one another. The Line 1 operates with a single trolleybus during morning and midday only, September to May only, with some journeys often unfulfilled. There is a twofold equipment surplus, however, vehicles are assigned to specific drivers with most trolleybuses operating for a half of a day only. Most Russian ZiU trolleybuses are in the best shape found anywhere in Bulgaria.
