Описание: Relax with the awakening of the main depot of SoBus Stadtwerke Solingen GmbH Verkehrsbetrieb, Solingen Germany right next to Müllheizkraftwerk Solingen, Botanischer Garten and Städtisches Klinikum. On this frozen October morning of 2023, the first of around 120 trolleybusses and diesel busses go into service. Here from 4:00 a.m., the employees gradually arrive at the depot and start their work for Solingen's 200 km line network local public transport.

A total of three generations of trolleybuses are in daily use. Busy sections of the route and especially school lines are served by articulated buses. According to information from a friendly SoBus employee, the purchase costs of the first trolleybuses were three times the price of conventional diesel buses.

The latest O-Bus BOB Edition (Batteriebetriebe Oberleitungsbusse) travel a distance of around 20 km fully electrically autonomously and are then recharged via the overhead line in around 20 minutes.
