In addition to these route changes, Kyiv has received new PTS-branded trolleybuses. The city’s last new trolleybus arrived in January 2021. These new vehicles are built on chassis from the Turkish brand Akia and feature a control system from Politechnoservice. They have an autonomous range of up to one kilometer, which will enhance their operational efficiency on city routes.
The public transport route changes are linked to the seasonal fairs, reflecting a revitalization of the city’s social and cultural life.
Furthermore, the new trolleybuses acquired by Kyiv are expected to significantly improve transit quality due to their technical features and autonomous driving capability, positively impacting mobility for both residents and visitors to the capital.
In addition to the upcoming changes, it's important to note that similar adjustments were made during the weekends of May 9-10, affecting various bus routes across the city.
