Ternopil electric transport: park update plans
The new trolleybuses will be designed in a unified style of urban transport — in a white-blue color scheme. After the technical checks and document processing are completed, they will go on routes.
The city does not plan to stop there. Under the same program, the purchase of another 7 trolleybuses along with components for maintenance has already been announced.
Thus, Ternopil is gradually modernizing public transport, focusing on the comfort, accessibility, and safety of passengers.
