In 1957, 10 trolleybuses operated in the city. By the end of 1957, 17 trolleybuses operated. By 1958, the number of trolleybuses increased to 45.[2]

The system consists of 14 routes (№№ 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 22, 23, 24, 26, 29, 36).

The trolleybus fleet is represented by such "classic'" trolleybuses as Soviet ZiU-9, and ZiU-10, Russian VMZ-184, VMZ-201, VMZ-263, VMZ-375, BTZ-5276-01, Trolza-5265.00, Trolza-5275.05, and Trolza-5275.06, Belarusian AKSM-101A, and AKSM-101M.
