Seen in this photo, many off duty trolleys were parked at the outbound (suburban) terminus of route 28 at Zhong-yuan, which is located in the far north-eastern part of the city. Because of the space limitation in the garages where trolleys were dispatched, many of them have to be parked on street overnight and during off duty periods, or at their transit terminus of the corresponding routes that they were being assigned on. Bus theft although not very common in Shanghai, was not unheard of, therefore parking priorities in the garage were given to motor buses, since trolleys posed almost no risk of being stolen. FE 2002.
