ZiU-9 | The Soviet Trolleybus That Took Over the World

My subreddit:   / the_transport_chronic   This is the story of the ZiU-9 — the most produced trolleybus in history, with over 42,000 units built. It served in dozens of countries, ran through Soviet cities for decades, and even made it to Argentina and Greece. And yet, barely anyone outside the former USSR knows it even existed. In this video, we dive into how the ZiU-9 became a symbol of mass transit — and why no other trolleybus has ever come close. 🔔 If you enjoy forgotten vehicles and strange chapters of transport history — subscribe and join the ride. 💬 Your support helps us tell more of these rare stories. 🚍 Want to support the channel directly?
