New trams and buses have arrived in Kyiv: what models and what to expect (photos)

A new batch of new trams and buses has hit the city's routes in Kyiv. Some of the equipment has already been put into operation, while others are undergoing technical preparation in the depot before going out on the lines. This was reported by the capital's mayor Vitaliy Klitschko.

Two new trams are already operating on route No. 27, which connects the Darnytsia, Dniprovskyi, and Desnianskyi districts. Two more are undergoing inspection and preparation. All trams are manufactured by the company «TATRA-YUG» under contracts with KP «Kyivpastrans» and purchased with funds from the city budget. By the end of the year, the capital will receive a total of eight modern low-floor wagons.

A second batch of buses has also arrived in the city - another 20 vehicles from the company «Anadolu Isuzu». They are already in operation on routes No. 20, 25, 31, 111, 112, and 114. Overall, under the project «Urban Public Transport of Ukraine», implemented in collaboration with the European Investment Bank, Kyiv will receive 85 such buses, of which 40 have already been delivered.

New trams: specifications and capabilities

All new trams meet modern urban transport requirements:

• 100% low floor

• air conditioning and heating system

• external and internal video surveillance cameras

• LED lighting

• ramp, information display, and stop announcement system.

Such a configuration has been created considering the needs of passengers with limited mobility and energy efficiency requirements.

New buses in the capital: where they are already working

The «Anadolu Isuzu» buses, which the city is receiving as part of the international project, also feature a low floor, climate control systems, video surveillance, and a comfortable interior. They are already transporting passengers on popular routes that connect central areas with remote neighborhoods.

Kyiv continues to update its fleet even in challenging wartime conditions. The city authorities emphasize that the modernization of transport is a matter of safety, comfort, and resource efficiency.
