New gas-powered buses will be launched tomorrow on two more city routes

Passengers of routes No. 55 and No. 31 will be able to appreciate eco-friendly transport. Tomorrow, November 11, they will be on the line.

10 new cars will operate on route No. 31 LDK – Biathlon Academy. They will replace all the rolling stock serving this route. On route No. 55 "pos. Vodnikov Railway Station" 16 new cars will be added to the line.

Recall that gas-powered buses were purchased on the initiative of the governor of the region Mikhail Kotyukov in preparation for the 400th anniversary of Krasnoyarsk. The main goal of updating the fleet with natural fuel technology is to improve the environmental situation and improve the quality of public transport. 

As part of the leasing program, 150 cars are expected to arrive in the city by the end of the year. Starting tomorrow, 76 new gas-powered buses will be seen on city streets. They will work on the routes №№ 10, 12, 19, 31, 55, 56. The new buses are easily recognizable by their blue body. He was chosen by the vote of the townspeople themselves. The crews of KPATP No. 7 JSC work for them.

All buses are equipped with climate control, air conditioning, and heating devices. They are also adapted to serve low-mobility citizens, and the "Talking City" system works for the visually impaired. For safety, 8 cameras are installed in the cabin of each bus. They monitor the situation outside and inside the bus, including in the driver's cabin. Buses also have a passenger flow counting system that allows you to monitor the load and adjust the timetable.

The buses were made especially for Krasnoyarsk at the Minsk Automobile Plant. They run on natural gas. A special filling station has been built on the territory of the motor transport company to refuel with this eco-friendly fuel.

Next year, with the support of the head of the region, it is planned to purchase 155 more units of gas-powered vehicles.
