First trolleybus route was open in trial mode on September 20, 1996 with 1 car. The regular operation started on April, 24 of 1997 with 5 cars in Peak hour and 1 car in other time on the route[4].
On September 22, 2001 the first intersubjective route "2" started operation between Druzhbi street and metro station "Planernaya (Moscow Metro)"[1]. January 1, 2005 route "2" changed its number to "22" because in Moscow Oblast all intersubjective routes should have numbers starting from 20, but, some months later, the route number was changed to "202", because in Moscow existed the route "22" from 16 Parkovaya street to Komsomolskaya Square.
On September 7, 2006 the route "1" was extended to Rodina Stadium (Khimki).
Last extension of the system happened on September 2, 2009. The third route - "203" started operation from "Rodina" Stadium to metro station "Planernaya (Moscow Metro)".
