The Minsk trolleybus system (Belarusian: Мінскі тралейбус; Russian: Минский троллейбус) serves the city of Minsk, the capital of Belarus. The system was opened in September 19, 1952. Nowadays it has more than 60 lines. The system is operated by the "Minsktrans" state enterprise. According to the Transportation Research Board, trolleybus system of Minsk is the second largest in the world.[1]
