Kyiv in 2020 will buy 273 modern buses, the press service of Kyiv City State Administration has reported, with reference to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
“This year we plan to purchase 273 modern buses. We are constantly updating the capital’s public transport park. Over the past few years, we have bought almost 300 units of public transport. These are modern and comfortable buses, trams and trolleybuses,” Klitschko said on the air of the Ukraine 24 TV Channel.
According to him, the capital is developing a new public transport scheme, which will take into account the possibility of convenient transfers from one type of transport to another. Thus, public transport, in particular, will crowd out minibuses and private buses from the city center.
“This is the practice of megacities around the world. In big cities, to get to the center, you have to pay a lot of money, especially for parking. Therefore, many people in the West use public transport. This positively influences traffic and the environmental situation in city,” Klitschko said.
Ukraine since the beginning of the 2019/2020 agricultural year (July-June) as of February 20, 2020 had exported 38.99 million tonnes of grains and leguminous crops, which is 7.9 million tonnes more than a year ago.
According to the information and analytical portal of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine, the country has exported 16.26 million tonnes of wheat, 18.26 million tonnes of corn, and 3.98 million tonnes of barley.
As of February 20 of this year, 246,000 tonnes of flour had been also exported.
As reported, Ukraine in the 2018/2019 agri-year exported a record 50.4 million tonnes of grain, legumes and flour, which is 23% more than in the previous agri-year.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said repairs to Shuliavsky bridge are planned to be completed by the summer of this year, but the problem of dismantling the fifth workshop of the Bolshevik plant, which should be one of the exits from the bridge, has not yet been solved, the press service of the Kyiv City State Administration has said.
“The main problem in completing the Shuliavsky viaduct is the fifth workshop of the Bolshevik plant. It has been inactive for a long time, dilapidated. They sell second-hand goods there. The Bolshevik plant itself owes the city more than UAH 200 million for land. What does the State Property Fund (SPF) do? They say that the city can buy it for UAH 700 million!” Klitschko said on the Ukraine-24 TV channel.
According to him, “such an approach is a robbery of Kyiv residents. If the State Property Fund does not transfer the fifth workshop to the city’s balance, I’ll appeal to the people of Kyiv to put pressure on the SPF. For us, the main thing is to complete an important infrastructure project in time and improve traffic in the city.”
