Zürich Trolleybus Routes

Originally, all bus routes were identified by letters. The numbering replaced the lettering later. In 1954, routes A, B and C were renumbered to 32, 33 and 34, respectively.

31 Hegibachplatz - Schlieren 1956 Originally opened from Burgwies -- Hardplatz, replacing streetcar (tram) route #1. In 1957 it was extended via Farbhof to Schlieren replacing part(?) of streetcar (tram) line #2. Section from Kircdhe Fluntern to Albisriedeplazt dieselized for construction of a bridge in 1965. Reverted back to trolleys in 1971.

In 1974, a single lane for trolleybuses operaating in both directions was installed controlled by a signal block. Extended from Bucheggplatz to Holzerhurd by incorporating route 74 as an extenstion of 32 in MY 1999. The original line ran from Bezirksgebäude to Bucheggplatz.

33 Morgental--Tiefenbrunnen Formerly route A. Extended from Toblerpatz (or Kirche Fluntern) to Tiefenbrunnen in NO 1998. Route 33 is the longest route with about 31 stops in the city. The exact length of the route is not known.
