Šentvid and Vič were connected with the center of Ljubljana by a tram
way route. After the gradual discontinuation of tram service starting in May 1957, the former tramway routes Šentvid – Ajdovščina and Vič – Ajdovščina began to be serviced by trolleybus
route 1 Vižmarje – Vič. In the interim, buses operated the route for a week.
The last day of trolleybus operations was 4 September 1971.
The next day, buses started to operate on the new route Vižmarje – Mestni log. In the city center buses initially crossed the Bavarski dvor (Bavarian palace). In the early 20th century, the former turnout
of today's Krimska bus stop was moved to Koper street, where it is still today. In October 2003, the night route 1a was extended to Mestni log (Brod – Bavarski dvor – Mestni log) over the Bavarski dvor in both directions, last journey was on half past midnight. In July of the following year the route was returned to its old regime of operation (Bavarski dvor – Brod). A Sunday extension to Brod was introduced in the summer of 2004, when route 8 stopped operated on Sundays. Routes to Avtosejem (Car fair) were introduced several years earlier. In autumn 2007, night route 1a was renumbered into line N1, the Sunday extension to Brod
into line 1B and the extension to Nedeljski sejem (Sunday fair) into line 1S, but routing were not changed. On 26 June 2008 lines 26, 26B and 26C were discontinued and lines 1B, 1S, N1 and 8 were extended to Gameljne.
On 28 June 2010 operating hours on line N1 were extended with the first departure from Bavarski dvor at 2.50 on Weekdays and Saturdays and 3.50 on Sundays and Public Holidays and the last at 0.20. The line has also been shortened from Gameljne to Brod (Bavarski dvor – Brod).
