Drammens Elektriske Bane (lit: Drammens Electric Rail) was a Norwegian company that operated the Drammen trolleybus between December 15, 1909 and April 30, 1916.[1] The company was started by M. Magnus, Otto Aubert and Olaf Berger in 1908 and built the initial 7.7 km of trolleybus line in Drammen with a capital of NOK 140,000. The company had good economy until World War I when the company ran into great economic problems. They initially tried to solve the problem by increasing the ticket price from 10 øre to 15 øre and a 25% discount on electricity from the municipality, but could not meet their obligations. The remains of the company were taken over by A/S Trikken.[2]
