Trams and trolleybuses in North Korea

Trams and Trolleybuses in North Korea are forms of transportation for North Koreans to travel around in urban centres given the shortages on fuel and access to cars for average citizens.

Very few details are known about these trolleybuses and trams due to the closed society of North Korea.
