A total of 15 new buses of extra large capacity ("accordion buses") began operating yesterday on three routes in Yekaterinburg.
The new vehicles have been assigned to bus routes No. 50, 64, and 67. This was reported by the head of Yekaterinburg, Alexey Orlov, on his channel.
They were delivered to the city in July. The routes were determined back in May.
This is already the second batch of "accordion buses" of the Volgabus brand purchased by Yekaterinburg. The first batch, also consisting of 15 vehicles, was launched on the routes a year ago.
In addition, the city wants to acquire another 50 new buses on lease. The auction for the supply has already been announced, with the contract value amounting to 1.5 billion rubles, reports the EAN agency.
Among the requirements for them, there is no extra large capacity class, but they must be manufactured no earlier than 2026, be low-floor, and operate on gas.
