A trolleybus is an electric bus that draws its electricity from overhead wires (generally suspended from roadside posts) using spring-loaded trolley poles. Two wires and poles are required to complete the electrical circuit. This differs from a tram or streetcar, which normally uses the track as the return part of the electrical path and therefore needs only one wire and one pole (or pantograph).
This memorial plaque is located at place of trolleybus stop No. 51. From this trolleybus stop a last trolley ride in Prague started on October 15, 1972.
