The Johannesburg trolleybus system was part of the public transport network in Johannesburg, South Africa, for nearly 50 years in the mid-twentieth century.

History

Opened on 26 August 1936 (1936-08-26), the system gradually supplemented the Johannesburg tramway network.

The system eventually partially replaced the tramway network, which lasted for several more decades until its closure on 2 August 1961 (1961-08-02). However, the system itself has since been closed, on 10 January 1986 (1986-01-10).
