Special sightseeing route

Historic trolleybuses that you wouldn’t normally see in Pilsen will be deployed on this route. They will run along the route DEPO2015 – Karlov Depot – Gothova – Main Station – DEPO2015 at intervals of 10 minutes.

4 Škoda 9 Tr trolleybuses, on loan for the route, will be supplemented by ŠBK 15 Tr and 21 Tr vehicles.

The first trip from DEPO2015 will be at 10:15, and the last (on this route) at 16:35.

Trolleybuses will also depart from DEPO2015 at the following times: 16:45, 16:55, 17:05, 17:10, and 17:15, following the route DEPO2015 – U Radbuzy – Prokopova – Anglické nábřeží – Hlavní nádraží.

Transportation on this line will be free all day.

Complete schedule.

Evening Rides

A convoy of five historic Škoda 9 Tr trolleybuses will set out on the evening ride.

The evening ride will start at 21:30 on Černická Street near the DEPO2015 complex, and we expect it to end at 22:45.

Two photo stops are also planned along the route (in Božkov and at Doubravka).

Due to the limited capacity of the historic cars, it was necessary to purchase a ticket for this ride on the Pilsenské vstupenky website. Tickets for all cars are already sold out.

In the event of a technical malfunction of a historic car or another unforeseen circumstance, the assigned car may be changed.
