The fourth double-decker bus has hit the Kyiv route No. 57, connecting the Akademmishechko metro station and the Authorinok. This is the last from the batch of vehicles that the capital received from Berlin as part of partnership assistance. This was reported by the KP Management Office.
The new bus was not previously used for passenger transport and completes the series of double-decker vehicles that gradually hit the capital routes during the autumn. The first was tested in late October: it was a MAN A39, handed over to Kyiv by the sister city of Berlin.
