Upon completing a turnaround via streets without an overhead in non-revenue diesel mode, a trolleybus arrives at the terminal stop. This location is equipped with trolley pole positioning device mounted on the overhead. While the first Riccione-bound stop of the interurban Line 11 (pictured) is located near the former Piazza San Girolamo loop, the last Rimini-bound stop is located at the Main Railroad Station, prior to the segment with no overhead, one stop away.

Upon unloading passengers at the last stop in front of the Main Railroad Station, a Rimini-bound trolleybus begins a turnaround via streets without an overhead in non-revenue diesel mode. This move was implemented in 06.2010 due to inability of articulated Van Hool vehicles to complete a turnaround in the tight Piazza San Girolamo loop. Initially passengers were carried via a segment with no overhead, with a designated terminal at Piazza Gramsci. From 01.06.2011 passengers were no longer caried due to low ridership.
