Odesa has received another batch of buses from the communities of Kyiv region - a batch of passenger buses was organized by the Kyiv Regional Military Administration.
This was reported by the press service of the Odesa City Council.
Thus, according to the mayor's office, the bus fleet of Odesa has been replenished by 12 vehicles along with the previous delivery. These buses will complement the fleet of social routes to ensure stable transportation of Odesa residents.
A week ago, Odesa received eight buses from Kyiv region to expand the network of social routes launched in the city to replace electric vehicles that have been out of service since late 2025 due to Russian strikes.
In early January, the number of buses Odesa received from other communities to replace electric vehicles increased to 27. At that time, the Mariupol community was added to Mykolaiv, Lviv, and Kropyvnytskyi. It should be noted that despite the actual occupation of the city of Mariupol, the Mariupol City Council continues to work in evacuation, and in 2025 the President established the Mariupol City Military Administration.
The mayor's office also reported that another route was introduced in Odesa in addition to the six previous ones. One bus will run from Svobody Avenue to Architektorskaya Street, thus duplicating the tram route No. 27.
The buses that Odesa received from other Ukrainian cities to compensate for the operation of electric transport have been tested and started running in the city on January 5.
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. On the night of December 31, Russians attacked the housing, logistics, and energy infrastructure of Odesa Oblast.
