The Ganja trolleybus system was a system of trolleybuses forming part of the public transport arrangements in Ganja, the second most populous city in Azerbaijan, for most of the second half of the 20th century. [1]
The system was opened on 1 May 1955. At its height, it consisted of eight lines, and had a total length of 112.9 km (70.2 mi). It was closed in 2004. [1]
During the final stages of the system's operation, only route 7 was still served by trolleybuses, during the rush hour peak period. [2]
The Ganja trolleybus fleet in the period leading up to the system's closure was made up of 9 vehicles of types Škoda 9Tr and ZiU-682. [2]

Multiple-unit train control, sometimes abbreviated to multiple-unit or MU, is a method of simultaneously controlling all the traction equipment in a train from a single location—whether it is a multiple unit comprising a number of self-powered passenger cars or a set of locomotives—with only a control signal transmitted to each unit. This contrasts with arrangements where electric motors in different units are connected directly to the power supply switched by a single control mechanism, thus requiring the full traction power to be transmitted through the train.
