New frontpage
With the trollofon activity being frozen at the moment (no trollofon this year!) we felt the need to clean up the webpage by presenting our various projects as being under the pilota umbrella organization. Please visit our other projects ruralreaders and arkivsirkus by clicking the links on the right. The "trollofon" link is a link to the old pilota.fm radio and trollofon pages.

The sleeping trolleys of Pleven
A few days ago the pilota headquarters received an intriguing mail from a trolleyspotter in Pleven - it read: Hi there! I like your trolleybus site. Congratulations for your dedication to save the Bergen trolley system! Maybe you will be interested to learn some queer facts about the trolleys of my hometown Pleven, Bulgaria. Pleven is probably the only trolleybus city in Europe where the carmen park the vehicles in front of their homes (like own car) in the evenings. The depot in town has a capacity of about 20 vehicles while there are 83 trolleys in Pleven. As Pleven is relatively small town the parked trolleys seem to be everywhere parked around the residential areas. You can see them "sleeping" on the sidewalks, on the grass near the road or just on the right side of the main streets. That`s why the town looks like a trolleybus depot. Pleven has a population of 140 000 and 15 trolley lines (70 km trolley route) . The network covers almost all of the town`s streets. If you are interested I could send you pictures of the Pleven trolleys. All of them are old Soviet ZIU-9. Have a good day :-)! Stoyan Pleven, Bulgaria And here are the pictures of the sleeping trolleys - Thanks Stoyan!
