First, I would like to thank Максим Раевский, D.Möschke, Гкъоэ Къху, focus1965 and others who uploaded their photos/videos to the internet, making this scheme possible.
Unfortunately, there is still a lot of missing information, and not all stops can be named. The following routes have most to all stops known (80-100%) : tram 1; trolleybus 1, 2, 5, 8, 10.
Unlike everywhere else, trams and trolleybuses in Pyongyang operate with different stopping patterns. This is displayed in brackets () next to the stop name. For example, a tram/trolleybus displaying the stopping pattern (1) will only stop at stops with the corresponding number and at the terminus. Not all routes have differing stopping patterns - Kumsusan Memorial Tram; trolleybus 8, 9, 11 and the Kwangmyongdong-Paesoandong line stop at all stops. Stopping patterns are also not necessarily consistent in both directions; tram 1 and trolleybus route Songhwa-Songyo have three stopping patterns towards the city and two stopping patterns away from the city.
To be clear, routes in Pyongyang do not have route numbers - they are designated by their terminii. Route numbers are included in this map for convenience based on prior maps.
- in the late 2010s, a connecting line was built from the Kaesonmun terminus to the loop around the Arch of Triumph, though without actually connecting to either line (by a junction). - in 2022, a new trolleybus route opened, extending from the overpass before the current Songsin 1-dong stop towards the southeast and route 3 was diverted along a newly built line to serve the new development along the Pothong River. - in 2023, for the newly opened Hwasong District 10000 residences, a turnback loop was constructed at the roundabout located at the intersection with the trolleybus route. However, the wiring was removed in mid-2024 for the construction of Hwasong District 10000 residences stage 3. - in 2024, Sopho Trolleybus Depot reopened after closure due to housing construction works, with a new covered parking area. - by 2024, Pyongyang introduced combined ticketing machines to trolleybuses, much like those seen in China, supporting cash and QR code payment. Some trolleybus routes now operate without a conductor.
- in 2021, as part of the rehabilitation project on tram line 2, the relief track at the Munsu terminus was removed and the loop at the east end of Thongil Street (now Rangnang Street) was mostly removed, leaving only track stubs.
What's next? According to the Choson Sinbo (newspaper of the General Association of Koreans in Japan), the Pyongyang transport bureau created a plan for the conversion of tram line 2 (Munsu-Tosong) to a trolleybus line, which should be carried out this year. However, it has not yet begun - trams still run this route.

The metro network has seen no change over the past years, apart from the modernisation of metro stations, which has seen most stations refurbished. There are now three locally produced metro trains.
Some other notes on the metro: - a second metro depot for the Hyoksin Line should exists, as suggested by this map (https://transphoto.org/photo/639571/). However, due to the impossibility of determining the exact location of the depot, it is not marked on the map. - the metro fare is now 150 won, a significant increase from the original 5 won. However, the value of cash has changed so much in the last few years that instead of 500, 1000 and 2000 won notes, these are now issued in coin form. - an incomplete station on Rungra Island (Rungrado) likely exists: it is marked that Kim Il Sung inspected this station and a likely entrance shaft is visible on satellite. - a tourist claims all metro trains stop at Kwangmyong, but the doors do not open. - there is a linking track between the Chollima Line and Hyoksin Line, also not shown due to the impossibility in determining the alignment.

Unfortunately, if it were further compressed, I would need to use larger font size and it might make parts of the map too dense.

The long tunnel linking Pulgunbyol Station to the surface is to achieve a feasible gradient of 4.5% (over 2+ km). This follows the original metro plan, which featured a station along this tunnel. However, it is unclear whether any reservations have been made for this. The metro depot itself being so far away is likely linked to space constraints, as the area north of Pyongyang is relatively hilly. Yet this is also very inconvenient, as the surface stretch is unelectrified, so the metro uses two diesel shunters to then move metro trains from the stabling area at the tunnel portal to the actual depot.
Действительно новая информация по транспорту на сттс, такого не было давно, благодарю авторов, это даёт понимание, куда ушло само увлечение в целом. По самой схеме - мне показалось интересным расположение депо метрополитена, мб кажется, мб невнимательно читал комментарий, но выглядит так, что вагоны обслуживаются в малом депо, а большое, подписанное как метро депо - имеет связь с ним по ЖД, и, видимо, служит для крупных ремонтов ПС.

I'd say the main issue with the image is the number of shades of gray. Try posterizing or reducing the color depth somehow. This is what I got, the size was reduced from 19.2 MB to 10.9 MB: https://freeimage.host/i/2CwyVTB

Thanks you for your suggestion. Please replace the file with the following. https://file.garden/ZiIBMJWrb1itX2qN/PY%...min.png The request system says "File size exceeds the config limit (code 2)", though it has been reduced to 11.4 MB.

The trolleybus network was curtailed when the tram lines opened in 1991, leading to the closure of cross-city and duplicated routes. The tram network has since then shrunk, with the replacement of the east section of tram route 1 (https://transphoto.org/photo/1105883/) with a trolleybus, creating a disconnected network (How do you deliver trolleybuses to a disconnected network? You push it there https://transphoto.org/photo/1484004). The trolleybus networks on the west side are technically connected, by a connecting line at Kaesonmun.

According to an engineer who closely worked on the project for the DK4 trains, they return to the depot each night. The small stabling yard can only store perhaps 12 trains, the rest are shunted to the main depot. Here's an image of a BVG Class D being shunted to the main depot: https://i.postimg.cc/sxbZfgg3/u-79416156...p-0.jpg

Заменить вторую (левобережную) линию трамвая троллейбусом? Звучит как полная дурость, если честно. Хотя, учитывая, что собственное трамвайное производство на замену устаревших как физически, так и морально, Татр так и не образовалось...
Вполне разумное решение. В краткосрочной перспективе.
Ну и плюс. Система "скип-стоп" в масштабе целого мегаполиса смотрится очень экзотично. Только не знаю, что делать пассажирам, которым надо выходить на тех промежуточных остановках, на которых не останавливается их рейс. А перегоны между ними очень большие.
Троллейбус никогда не сможет заменить трамвай. Даже с учетом того, что в Пхеньяне эксплуатируются "гармошки". На трамвайных маршрутах ведь тоже работают очень хорошо заполняемые СМЕ, а трамвай в Пхеньяне является, с некоторыми допущениями, полноценным ЛРТ.
Поэтому идея о замене трамвая №2 на троллейбус выглядит очень странно, причем отсутствие собственного производства трамваев – не аргумент: трамваи для Чхонджина и Вонсана Корая делала, по всей видимости, сама, а для Пхеньяна производит глубочайшую модернизацию метропоездов и старых Татр, близкую к, можно сказать, производству с ноля.
На крайний случай, можно заказать трамваи в Китае или в России, хотя бы б/у из Ростова-на-Дону. Но ломать-то зачем?
Да, я вот изучаю эту схему и всё больше проникаюсь уникальностью Пхеньянского транспорта. Северная Корея вообще удивляет своей инаковостью, особенно в вопросах транспорта.
На остановках в Пхеньяне стоят столбы с обозначением конечных маршрута и цифрой 1, 2 или 3 (https://transphoto.org/photo/1045368/). Цифра означает, что на данной остановке останавливается только транспорт, на передке котором вывешена эта цифра (https://transphoto.org/photo/1077409/ - этот трамвай не останавливается на этой остановке). Транспорт с другими цифрами остановку пропускает, но останавливается на других. Назову такую систему "паттернами поведения". Вроде как их ввёл лично Ким Ир Сен. Возможно, ещё во время открытия троллейбуса в 1962 году. И поэтому на практике не используют номера машрутов - только конечные пункты.
На западе это называется "скип-стоп". Известный пример - маршруты J/Z Нью-Йоркского метро. Скип-стоп изобрели для увеличения скорости движения за счёт пропуска около половины остановок. В КНДР же скорости (НЯП) мизерные, и паттерны использую, чтобы ограничить использование ОТ из-за неудобных поездок и пересадок, побуджая больше ходить пешком. Поэтому в городе так много пешеходов.
Также в Корее очень не любят дублировать маршруты. На общем участке троллейбусов 2 и 8 нет ни одной остановки, на которой бы останавливались оба маршрута. Троллейбус 5 в центре пропускает несколько остановок 1-го маршрута.
Tram line 2 has been replaced by trolleybuses running off-wire. Not all of the tram track has been removed (yet); tracks between the Pyongyang Bus Factory (tram repair factory) and Tosong remain.
The former Munsu tram depot is now used to charge trolleybuses, as the route is currently without trolleybus overhead.
