"These electric buses will not only reduce pollution but also provide a more comfortable and efficient ride for our citizens." The arrival of these buses is not just about adding new vehicles to the fleet. The city is simultaneously upgrading its infrastructure to accommodate the new electric buses. This includes the reconstruction and modernization of two city depots where the buses will be maintained and serviced. The project's success will depend on the effective integration of the new buses with the existing infrastructure, ensuring seamless operation and optimal performance. The complete delivery of 120 electric buses is expected to transform Bishkek's public transportation, making it more environmentally friendly and efficient. This initiative demonstrates Bishkek's commitment to sustainable urban development and improved quality of life for its residents.
