The Drammen trolleybus system was a system of trolleybuses in Drammen in Buskerud county, Norway, which operated between 15 December 1909 and 10 June 1967.[1] The system stretched from the city center to Brakerøya, Merket and Vårveien and was operated by the companies Drammens Elektriske Bane, A/S Trikken and Drammen Kommunale Trikk. The system was well suited for Drammen, since the city has a lot of hills and cheap electricity.
