The project, worth of €22 million, aims at minimizing gas emissions, improving local residents’ health, easing pressure on land use and urban space, reducing traffic congestions, economic losses and fuel consumption.
Moreover, the project is expected to guarantee safety of the bus system.
At first, the city will buy 75 new diesel-fuelled buses of 100 passengers each. All the buses must meet the European Union Standard (Euro 4) on environmental protection.
