Test operation, see note.
Note : Tests began 18 September 1949 along tramway lines using "all-service vehicles" (dual-mode buses ) purchased secondhand from Newark, New Jersey , US . The tests did not involve building new or converting existing supply because Havana's tramway had twin-wire overhead. Regular service was not operated.
Note : The Mexico City trolleybus system was long thought to have opened in April 1952, but is now known to have opened more than a year earlier, in March 1951.[45] [46] Previous to that, there was an experimental line, for testing without passengers, in 1947 or 1948.
