From today, public transport in Pristina has entered a new phase of development with the expansion of the urban bus network to neighborhoods and villages that previously did not have access to buses. This significant transformation ensures that a bus is available every 7 minutes to transport citizens to their destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These details were shared at a press conference by the Mayor of Pristina, P\u00ebrparim Rama, who said this was made possible thanks to three years of work on urban public transport reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, the bus fleet increased from 51 buses to 172.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe expansion of the public transport network now brings routes to Pristina neighborhoods that previously had no buses. This is one of the key points: areas of the capital such as Taslixhe, Velania, Bledi, Arb\u00ebria, Sofalia, the Qendresa Nic neighborhood, Veternik, and Zllatari\u2014all of these will now have bus services. Also, with this transformation, we are connecting all the villages in the capital: the village of Marec, Vitia e Mareci, Sicceva, Kolovica, Dyzi, Zllashi, Ballabani, Nisheci, Gllogovica, Llabjani, Busia, Slivova, Llajshevci, Shkabaj, Drenoci, Prugoci\u2014so all of these are now linked to the capital. These are transformations in the capital covering over 30 different routes and 172 buses. As you know, we signed contracts with the private sector: the 51 buses previously operated by the urban transport now have 121 additional buses, and we have a unified system with an all-day ticket,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also today, the \u201cPristina Digital Wallet\u201d application was launched, through which citizens can purchase public transport tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All citizens who download this app now will get their first month of tickets for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe digital wallet is an innovation where today\u2026 citizens who download this application get one month of tickets for free. I encourage citizens who use urban transport to download it, as they will have one month free in the capital,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mayor of Pristina, P\u00ebrparim Rama, while inspecting one of the new bus stops in the capital, emphasized that the bus frequencies are now reliable and fast.\u201cWe will have new buses, and the frequency will be such that every 7 minutes there will be buses picking up passengers and taking them to their destinations. As you have seen, throughout the capital we now also have special bus lanes, with horizontal and vertical markings. We are in the process of asking citizens driving cars to respect the lanes reserved for buses,\u201d emphasized the Mayor of Pristina.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
