Coat of arms of Ústí nad Labem

Ústí nad Labem (German: Aussig an der Elbe) is a city in northern Czechia, located along the Elbe/Labe river. It is the capital of the Ústecký kraj region and a major industrial center in North Bohemia. The current population is about 93'000 people.

Tramway operation started in July 1899 with two routes. The network increased until 1953 up to its maximum length of 34 kilometres and was after Praha and Brno the third largest tram network in Czechoslovakia. It connected the city centre with the surrounding districts of Chabařovice, Trmice, Krásné Březno, Neštěmice, Vaňov, Střekov and Telnice. The depots were at Špitálské náměstí, in Bukov and in Předlice at the site of the current bus depot of the transport company. After using 2-axle motor cars made in Graz before the Second World War, many 6MT cars manufactured in Česká Lípa were deliverd to Ústí. The last new trams for the city were Tatra T2 which came in 1960. The tram operation was finally ended on 1 June 1970.

The construction of a trolleybus network started in 1984. The first line was opened on 1 July 1988. The network drastically expanded in the 1990s and has today a length of 47 kilometres with overhead wires. In 2007, the last newly-built track was opened, which is the first one using the eastern side of the Labe via Dr. Edvard Beneš bridge. In 2009, the main railway station was connected to the trolleybus network. Today, after a significant network redesign in May 2024, the system consists of nine daytime trolleybus lines which partially operate without overhead wire by using auxiliary power:

Line 70: Klíše lázně – Skalka
Line 71: Skalka – Vozovna DP Předlice (partially without overhead wires)
Line 72: Staré Předlice / Předlická – Severní terasa (partially without overhead wires)
Line 73: Koštov konečná – Karla IV. (partially without overhead wires)
Line 76: Všebořice – Žežická
Line 80: Mírová – Karla IV
Line 84: Všebořice – Dobětice točna
Line 87: Mírová – Dobětice točna
Line 88: Severní terasa – Pod Vyhlídkou

Night services:
Line 43: Severní terasa – Dobětice točna
Line 46: Všebořice – Pod Vyhlídkou

All lines pass through the central Mírové náměstí stop near the main railway station.

The 1.9 km long trolleybus line to Mojžíř was closed in July 2023 and mothballed - no reopening is planned in the foreseeable future. The trolleybus depot is located in Všebořice, where routes 76 and 84 terminate. The trolleybus fleet exclusively consists of low-floor Škoda trolleybuses (25Tr, 27Tr and 28Tr). The last Škoda 15Tr vehicles were retired in spring 2024, of which some units are preserved as historical vehicles. The trolleybus system is integrated into the ticketing and transport union Doprava Ústeckého kraje (DÚK). The local transport company, Dopravní podnik města Ústí nad Labem (DPmÚL), offers more information and timetables on its website under www.dpmul.cz;.
