Besides, 20 Czech trams arrived to the city, 11 of them have already reached the line and the rest will come out soon. The new network and transport was personally checked by the Mayor Vadim Boichenko.
Mariupol residents were looking forward to the emergence of electric transport in Kuprina Str. This is a new step in the development of transport infrastructure. New line appeared on the site: bus station number 2 – Kuprina Str. - Shevchenko Blvd. - Port City shopping center. It was made an outdoor lighting, rainwater drainage and installed stopping pavilions. More than UAH 13 million was allocated for the project.
Due to the extension of the routes, the residents received direct transport links to the city center, Kalmiuskiy district and the railway station. The route schedule was developed taking into account the train schedule of the railway station.
The cost of one tram is UAH 1 million 677 thousand. Previously, they were used in Riga’s streets. In order to work well in Mariupol, they were upgraded. The transport is equipped with an information system, external sound system, cameras, heating system, navigation and lighting. According to the Director of the Department of Transport and Communications Vasily Klat, trams can serve Mariupol people for more than 15 years.
