For your wedding, get a trolleybus

06-12-2011

There’s a new fashion in the Moldovan capital Chisinau. Instead of a limousine for their wedding, some couples order… a trolleybus – a vehicle also in demand for birthdays, school-leaving parties and other events. A year ago, it would have been unimaginable. Most people treated trolleybuses with utter contempt, an attitude more than justified by their shabby appearance. It all changed in April 2011, when, on the eve of Easter and thanks to the EU support, the first new trolleybuses appeared on the streets of Chisinau.
