Vilnius trolley buses, a photo from Vilniaus, South

Photographer's Note

This photo is taken in Kalvarijų gatvę (Calvary Steet) in Vilnius, Lithuania. Vilnius trolley buses are part of the the city's public transport system. A trolleybus system was established in the mid 1950s. In those days there were about 25 buses. Today there are over 300 trolley buses in the city. The trolley buses are operated by UAB Vilniaus Vie惨sis Transportas (VVT).The trolley buses are serving in 21 different lines.

The fleet consists of buses from several bus manufacturers. Between 1996-1995 new Czech 㩧oda buses were purchased. The bus in this photo is a 㩧oda. In 2004-2006, a number of new Polish trolleybuses Solaris 15AC were bought. In 2012, new Lithuanian Amber trollebuses were purchased.

Hej Ulf,
Jag studsade till n酺 jag s嶓 den h酺 bilden. Trodde f顤st att du hade snott en av mina :-), men min snarlika bild fr幩 Vilnius har tre tr嶟bussar i rad (inte utlagd p� TE). Men platsen 酺 p嶢allande lik denna. Bussens r鐰a detaljer och str闣avtagarnas l酹t b鐱da gula diagonaler ger fina detaljer 廞 bilden, liksom den r鐰a damen vid 饘eerg幩gsst鄟let och den r鐰a gubben ovanf顤 henne. Vilnius 酺 verkligen en fin stad och tr嶟bussarna 酺 ett trevligt inslag i gatubilden. Jag f顤st緳 inte att de inte 廞erupplivas i Sverige, i st鄟let f顤 de otympliga sp緳vagnarna som bara 酺 i v輍en.
H鄟sningar,
Gert

Hej Ulf,
En mycket intressant gatubild ur det "dagliga livet" med fine r鐰a f酺gklickar. Mest intressant 酺 ju givetvis tr嶟bussen. I G飆eborg fanns tv� tr嶟busslinjer fr幩 1940 till 1964. De trafikerade Masthugget och Majorna och utgick fr幩 Lilla Torget. Jag har h顤t att ett av sk鄟en till att de togs bort var att folk som bodde l鄚gs linjerna klagade. Ledningarna var upph鄚gda i husv輍gar och husen skakade n酺 bussarna k顤de f顤bi! Nu har man tydligen inf顤t tr嶟bussar i Landskrona, av alla st鄟len. Till G飆eborg l酺 de tyv酺r inte 廞erkomma. Konstigt, detta 酺 ju ett mycket bra och milj饘鄚ligt s酹t att uppr酹th嶚la kollektivtrafik. En bra bild h酺!

Hej Ulf,
tr嶟bussar verkar ganska vanligt p� m幩ga platser i 珺t-Europa vad jag har sett. Milj饘鄚ligt 酺 det ju f顤st廛 men s酺skilt vackert med alla ledningar tycker inte jag att det 酺! Bra bidrag till TE d酺 man f緳 en liten inblick i det dagliga livet i Vilnius.

Hello Ulf,
this is a cleverly composed shot with the lady in red nicely balancing the bright red markings of the bus as well as the red traffic light.
There is a distinct atmosphere of winter with the people warmly dressed and bus lit up.
Regards Les.

Hi Ulf,
nice the view of this daily snapshot from the street of the town with the Vilnius trolley buse to be the main element of the image.The waiting women as i see to turn on the green,to pass to the opposite side of the street,is a good complementary element of the image.

Regards,Danos
