When I first planned my trip to Wellington, I was looking forward to seeing and riding its trolleybus system. Unfortunately the trolley bus system was suddenly closed and all the wires pulled down about 6 monhts prior to my visit. It was a political manover, that I think Wellington may regret. That fact that they started pulling wires down the day after they ended service was a crime IMHO.

Regardless, a lot of buse lines still run around the city, just none are electrically powered. There is still some evidence of the trolley buses lines if you look.
