A trolleybus network primarily designed as a feeder to a Moscow-oriented commuter railroad service. While Lines 1, 2 and 3 provide combined plentiful service via the main trolleybus node, each of these lines offer rather sparse service individually. At the same time the Line 4 boasts a somewhat bloated service. The Lines 1, 2 and 3 suffer from major delays during rush hours due to standstill traffic jams along most part of the route.
