Skoda-14Tr on the Khiva-Urganch trolleybus, Uzbekistan. 18.08.2013. This line is 36km long, and was the last new trolleybus system to open in Uzbekistan. Now this is the only system that still operates, altough, only 1-2 two vehicles are running, and the overhead wires are in very bad condition, leading to very reduced speed. This means that it takes around 2 hours to make the whole 36km, and as there is only 1-2 trolleybuses running, there is 2-3 hours between two departures. Photo by Balázs Rusznyák (ruba2@freemail.hu)
