The trolleybus system in Riga is one of the largest in the European Union. Larger might be only the system in Athens, however there are unfortunately no exact and updated statistics published anywhere. The numbers on Wikipedia are just super wrong as sometimes they count only length of the overhead wires network, sometimes the length of the lines (even if they usually share some streets and overlap). In this case, probably the Russian Wiki is the most accurate. If we could believe those numbers, then Riga has something about 323 km of the trolley network, while Athens/Piraeus about 350 km. Also Riga has about 250 vehicles, while Athens about 100 more than that.
