History

The route was commenced on 26 January 2014, operating on Changchun Road, Lianhua Street, Ruida Road, Huagong Road, Rantun Road and Nongye Road.^[1]

Due to the construction of Nongye Expressway, the route was diverted from Nongye Road to Dongfeng Road on 21 July 2015.^[2] After the completion of Nongye Expressway with new island platforms under the elevated highway, the east section of the route returned to Nongye Road on 26 May 2017.^[3]

In 2019, trolleybus overhead wires were installed under the Nongye Elevated for conversion of B2 to an eBRT corridor, preparing for the return of trolleybuses to Zhengzhou.^[4]^[5] Trolleybus operation in service began on 1 January 2021.^[6]
