The route had a length of 4km and ran from the bus depot streets Pilsudski and Dmowski, the street John Paul II.

Construction (power 3 × 800 kW). The contact wire in the form of a copper wire with a cross section of 12 mm ² is suspended at a height of 5.80 m to 6.20 m above the streets. The total length of the overhead line is 40.1km single track. At the network’s 14 turnouts (switches), 13 the so-called. exits, junctions 16 and 21 spoilers (section insulators). Currently, service trolley bus lines take trolleybus line Tyskie, Ltd. created as a result of separating the structures Tychy Enterprises Urban Transport.

Currently, the core of trolleybus fleet in Tychy are low-floor vehicles Trollino Solaris 12 and średniopodłogowe Jelcz PR110 and Jelcz 120MT. Tyskie trolley buses have three-digit numbers starting Vehicle digit 0

In 2012 and early 2013, the project "Modernization of the tram and trolleybus transport infrastructure in the Silesian Agglomeration with accompanying infrastructure" Tyskie Trolley line put into service 15 new Solaris vehicles.
