The Mingachevir trolleybus system was a system of trolleybuses forming part of the public transport arrangements in Mingachevir, the fourth most populous city in Azerbaijan, for about 15 years at the turn of the 21st century.[1]
The system was opened on 15 April 1989. At its height, it consisted of three lines. The only remaining line was closed on 31 March 2006.[1]
The three lines operating at the height of the system were as follows:
- Садоводческое хозяйство (Horticultural Industry) — посёлок АзГРЭС (AzGRÈS)
- Варвары (Barbarians) — Депо (Depot) — Варвары (Barbarians)
- Дормаш (Dormash) — Депо (Depot)
The Mingachevir trolleybus fleet comprised 17 vehicles of type ZiU-9.[1] As of 2009[update], part of the fleet was still in the depot.
