Biel
The trolleybus was introduced in Biel in 1940 and this new type of transportation replaced the tram until 1948 completely. In 1955 and 1966 further sections were added, so the electric network grew up to four lines. This maximal expansion lasted for a quarter century until the line Biel Bahnhof - Madretsch was changed to a motor bus line. The reason for the reduction from three to two trolleybus lines was no shut down but a reorganisation in 1997. Since then only articulated trolleybuses run in Biel.Trolleybus fleet
