The Johannesburg trolleybus system was part of the public transport network in Johannesburg, South Africa, for nearly 50 years in the mid-twentieth century.
History
Opened on 26 August 1936, the system gradually supplemented the Johannesburg tramway network.
The system eventually partially replaced the tramway network, which lasted for several more decades until its closure on 2 August 1961. However, the system itself has since been closed, on 10 January 1986.
