As of 2013, trolleybuses provide a portion of the public transit service in 10 Chinese cities.[15] At one
time, as many as 27 cities were served by trolleybuses, comprising 28 systems, as Wuhan had two
independent trolleybus systems.[16] The Shanghai trolleybus system, which remains in operation,
opened in 1914 and is the longest-lived trolleybus system in the world.[16][17] All other trolleybus
systems in China opened after 1950.[16]
