Who Killed Kathmandu's Trolleybus?

From 1975 to 2008, Kathmandu possessed a vibrant trolleybus system. Gifted by China, these spacious and comfortable electric buses became a beloved part of the city's landscape. People of all walks of life enjoyed a clean and efficient commute, leaving behind a trail of fresh air instead of exhaust smoke.
Although the trolleybuses eventually disappeared from the streets, they left behind a legacy of hope and inspiration. Their story serves as a reminder that Kathmandu, once a champion of green travel, has the potential to reclaim its sustainable future. The ghosts of these electric giants still whisper within the city walls, urging us to listen to the call of a cleaner, greener tomorrow.

    यसरी औंलामा गन्न सकिने मिडिया क्षेत्रको वैकल्पिक शक्तिको रुपमा यसरी आउँदा बहुत खुशी लाग्छ। सरोज सरको यो योगदानले हाम्रो देश बनाउन प्रत्यक्ष अप्रत्यक्षरुपमा महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका खेल्नेछ। आशा छ भविष्यमा पनि यस्तै अझै धेरै रहस्यमय विषयको उजागर गर्नुहुनेछ जसले जनताको चेतना स्तर बढ्नेछ अनि सचेत पनि गराउनेछ।

  • @induction7895
    @induction78956 ай бұрын

    The government should build trolley infrastructure like cables and lanes, and private sector should run the buses and pay the government for the infrastructure usage. The whole of ring road should have trolley bus. Infact, the east west highway should be trolley connected. This is the best form of transportation for Nepal. Battery Electric Vehicles are not good for Nepal as Nepal doesn't produce batteries and there are huge efficiency loss in charging and operation.

    People say trolley buses are things of the past, but it's the most economically and efficient methods of transportation better than diesel or electric buses. A single bus can last 20-30 years with minimal maintenance. Recently trolley buses are introduced in Mexico city, Shanghai etc. KTM valley metro train might take more than 20years for completion, but a ringroad/bhaktapur trolley bus circuit can be completed within a year if all the valley metropolitans join hands.

    @@aarjanbaskota5729 Yes. Trolley buses can run directly on Nepali-produced electricity. The only problem is corruption. But it can be solved by allowing the actual operation of the buses to the private sector. The whole of Ring Road should have a Trolley bus service. Once in Kathmandu, Trolley service can connect other major cities like Butwal-Bhairahawa, Birgung-Hetauda etc.
