The Tehran trolleybus system (Persian:سامانهٔ اتوبوس برقی تهران, Samazh-e Atubus-e Berqi-ye Tehran) serves Tehran, the capital city of Iran.[3] Opened in 1992, it is the only trolleybus system ever to have existed in Iran.[4] At its maximum extent, the system had five routes, served by at least 65 trolleybuses. The system closed in 2013,[3] but reopened in 2016 with one route and a fleet of around 30 modernised Škoda 15Tr.[1][5]
