The remaining 54 vehicles will arrive in stages. The new vehicles are temporarily placed on the territory of DEPO-1, which is located at the intersection of Moskovskaya and Fuchika Streets, and will go on the routes after the necessary checks and preparation. These buses are 12 meters long and are designed to transport up to 85 people, including 21 seating places. They are equipped with modern air conditioning systems to ensure comfort in hot weather and ramps for people with disabilities.
A wheelchair zone is also provided, which will make transportation more inclusive and accessible to all city residents. The project to modernize Bishkek's bus fleet, supported by the German Development Bank KfW, aims to improve the quality of life and reduce the environmental impact of the transport system.
