Mayor Orlov announced what has changed in public transportation in Yekaterinburg.
The head of Yekaterinburg, Alexey Orlov, on the air of the "Fourth Channel" spoke about the interim results of the transport reform that began in the city a year ago.
According to the mayor, the multi-stage reform has effectively prevented the collapse of the entire public transport sector in Yekaterinburg.
— The results are already visible. In February we switched to gross contracts. Personnel began returning to the sector. Transport began running more regularly, our residents note this. The volume of work of all our transport enterprises increased, namely from 55% to 95%, Orlov said.
Sixty-five new buses, 150 trolleybuses, and 17 new trams have been purchased. In 2026 they plan to add another 50 trams to the fleet.
Also, the switch to a gross-contract system allowed private carriers to acquire 200 new buses in Yekaterinburg. Some are already operating on routes; the remainder will enter service by the end of January.
