- Note: The former TVR, or GLT, system in Caen and the Translohr system in Clermont-Ferrand are not listed, as they are not commonly considered to be trolleybus systems, since their vehicles use(d) pantographs to collect current and therefore were not able to operate away from the surface guideway while remaining in electric mode. The GLT vehicles formerly used on the Nancy system, by comparison, were able to do so, as they used trolley poles to collect current, so the Nancy system continued to be considered a trolleybus system during its GLT era.
