after being taken into public ownership, the company had more money to spend. a new turning loop was built at munkvoll, and a 10-minute headway was introduced from st. olavs gate to munkvoll, and a 20-minute headway to lian. prices were reduced, and 1967 showed a 10% ridership increase. the signalling was improved with fixed blocks, and only munkvoll–lian still used tokens. the rolling stock was painted the same yellow and blue, but the coat of arms used by trondheim sporvei were not used on graakalbanen.
