Buses from other cities have been tested in Odesa and are now running on routes

The buses that Odesa received from other Ukrainian cities to compensate for the operation of electric transport have been tested and started running on January 5.

This was reported by the press service of the Odesa municipality.

According to the mayor's office, these are the 25 buses that Odesa previously received from Lviv, Kropyvnytskyi, and Mykolaiv. The routes should cover all social areas in the city, and the fare should be free for the public.

Currently, there are six routes, and within a week, as soon as the rest of the buses are ready, other new routes will be launched. The new buses will run on the existing tram routes No. 5 and 15, as well as trolleybus routes: №№ 3, 8.

On the morning of December 31, the head of the Odesa City Administration, Serhiy Lysak, said that due to a power shortage, trams and trolleybuses in Odesa were not working.

In the evening of the same day, the mayors of Lviv, Andriy Sadovyi, and Mykolaiv, Oleksandr Senkevych, said they had sent buses to Odesa to replace the trams and trolleybuses that were not working due to the power shortage.

Earlier, Lysak said that the city was expecting 40 buses from various other cities, including 10 buses each from Lviv and Kropyvnytskyi communities, five buses each from Mykolaiv and Zhytomyr, and three buses each from Vinnytsia and Mariupol. The Bila Tserkva community also joined the support.
