	Wonsan^[102]	8 September 1988		A single line via city's main thoroughfare. Assumed route. Received new Chollima-321 trolleybuses.^[103]

Note: Due to the incredibly limited streetview in North Korea and limited information, the main sources for trolleybus systems are national articles, tourist-related media, or satellite images. Some previously speculated systems in the central areas of Hyesan, Sunchon, Rajin-guyok (Sonbong county), Songrim, Kusong, and Haeju were largely disproven by available photos and videos, which show no trolleybuses of any kind. Some smaller systems may still be undiscovered. There is some unverified evidence of trolleybuses in the following towns:

• Yonsan County images depict something similar to a trolleybus overhead.^[104]
