Tbilisi Municipal Budget Allocates 30 million GEL for Purchase of 300 Minibuses
Tbilisi municipal budget has allocated 30 million GEL for purchase of 300 minibuses, Tbilisi Vice Mayor Irakli Khmaladze noted.
Khmaladze told reporters that at this stage about 1500 minibus taxis provide passenger transportation services in the capital city, but this figure is expected to decline.
“We have already mobilized funds for purchase of 300 minibuses. This is about 30 million GEL. At this stage about 1400-1500 minibus taxis transports passengers in the capital city, however, this number is expected to decline after the network renovation, because the number of buses will increase. Minibus taxis will work as a transport for delivering passengers to the bus stations. At this stage I cannot name specific figure required for full renovation of the minibus fleet, but we have urgent need in 300 minibuses now definitely”, Irakli Khmaladze noted.
Tender will be announced in the near future, the Tbilisi Vice Mayor noted.
“As to the brand and color, details will be unveiled after tender announcement”, Khmaladze said.
