On November 7, 1945, the grand opening of the trolleybus line was held in Odesa. The first line was built back in 1941, but the war prevented its opening. The Romanian invaders took away all the equipment prepared for the launch of the first phase of the system, including ten new trolleybuses YATB-4, which were built at the Yaroslavl Automobile Plant. Only in 1944, after the liberation of the city, the stolen equipment began to return to the city. However, instead of new trolleybuses, the destroyed, broken, burned and understaffed in Romania machines reached Odesa. Together with ten of Odesa trolleybuses, a destroyed trolleybus of the same sort came from another city, also from Romania.
