Several hundred more new trams, trolleybuses, and buses will arrive in Yekaterinburg.
From 2026 to 2028 the Yekaterinburg administration plans a large-scale renewal of the city's public transport — during those years it plans to purchase 110 three-section trams, 100 trolleybuses and 50 buses. This is stated in the city's socio-economic development forecast, which was obtained by 66.RU.
Along with renewing the rolling stock, the mayor's office intends to adjust the route network. Thanks to trolleybuses with autonomous operation, it will be possible to extend routes and introduce service to districts that previously had none.
Purchasing 100 trolleybuses will require at least 2.4 billion rubles, 110 three-section trams about 14 billion, and 50 buses (including articulated ones) around 3.2 billion rubles.
The first batch of 50 trolleybuses is due to arrive in Yekaterinburg by March 2026. The cost of the purchase amounted to 1.2 billion rubles.
By 2030 city authorities plan to completely renew the tram fleet of the Ural capital — about 400 vehicles will need to be purchased for this.
