A formerly premier trolleybus undertaking since the Soviet times, with frequent service, and well-planned sustained trolleybus network development. Trolleybus lines continued to be actively built even after the demise of the Soviet Union. By the mid-2000s trolleybus network covered practically all areas of the city. In 2010s, however, a deliberate campaign to cut back on trolleybus service has began, often under frivolous excuses such as state of disrepair of city bridges. Some routes were suspended, others rerouted via irrational one-way patterns, with trolleybuses now mostly resorting to peak service. New rolling stock deliveries were minimal by the end of the 2000s, and ceased completely since 2013.
