 The late 1920s and early 1930s saw the first bus services being introduced to the city.Initial proposals for a trolleybus system in 1938 were rejected by the citizens of Lucerne, however further proposals in 1941 were met with a far more positive response, and the first line was opened between Lucerne station and Allmend.Trolleybuses gradually replaced trams in the city, and the tramway was finally closed in 1961.
