Prague Public Transport Company (DPP) advanced with the preparation of electrification of today's bus line number 140. Buses on the line from Palmovka via Letňany and Čakovice to Miškovice should be replaced in the near future with articulated trolleybuses, which part of the route will go to the batteries.

The company thus wants to significantly expand the operation of today's only trolleybus line number 58, which has been operating since July. It also runs a so-called partial trolley, which uses the batteries and recharges them while driving. "Vehicles are being tested on this line, with DPP aiming to test the articulated vehicle, as traffic on line 140 is and will be provided by articulated vehicles," said spokeswoman Aneta Řehková.
On Sunday, passengers traveled in Prague with a historic trolleybus.
For the electrification of line 140, the designer has already chosen the subnet and has started the documentation on the territorial decision. He also sent the whole thing to the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process. According to EIA material, the construction will probably begin in 2020 or 2021 and will last 12 months. Most routes (over eight miles) will be under the trolley, where vehicles will be charged while driving. The trolleybuses will also be charged when they are at the final or during parking in garages. In the base of DPP at Klíčov, therefore, 18 new charging stations will be created for them.
Part of the project is also the modification of the existing container exchange station in Prosecká Street for permanent operation, the reconstruction of the former trolley-bus station in Příborská street in Letňany and the construction of a new container exchange station in the Klíčov garage. "The most costly item will be the purchase of 12 to 15 articulated battery trolleybuses, which will replace the diesel articulated buses to ensure full free-to-air traffic on this line," Rehkova added.
The trolleybuses traveled in Prague from 1936 to 1972. Their recent return allowed the development of battery technologies that are not so demanding to build infrastructure along the route. That's why the debate was about whether to call the new car a trolleybus at all. However, the dynamic charging line falls under the scope of the Rail Act, which is a legal trolley.
The transport company of the partial trolleybus has been testing continuously since October last year, the first line fully integrated into the Prague public transport this July 1st. Trolleybuses were already reserved 5x in Prague, which until recently belonged to a night tram (now they have nine). The interesting thing is that the trolleybus 58 had long ago traveled to Čakovice.
