In operation since 30 April 1962, the system was about 57 km (35 mi) long in 2009 and comprised 10 routes.[1]
Fleet
Most of the vehicles used on the system are North Korean made; some of them based on the Czech Karosa buses. The fleet also includes Hungarian Ikarus trolleybuses, imported as diesel buses and later reconstructed into trolleybuses.
