Trolleybuses in Dunedin were part of the Dunedin public transport system from 1950 until 1982.
History [ edit ]
Trolleybuses commenced operating in Dunedin on 24 December 1950 from Bond Street in the central business district to the Gardens. By 1958 trolleybuses had replaced all of the city's trams operating on 14 routes. It was progressively closed from 1969, with the final route closing in July 1979. However the 1979 oil crisis resulted in part of the network being reopened the next month. It finally closed on March 1982.

The fleet comprised 79 BUT RETB/1s built between 1950 and 1962.[1] [2] Toitū Otago Settlers Museum and two by the Tramway Historical Society .[3] [4]
