Tbilisi Mayor says purchase of minibuses has been temporarily postponed

According to Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze, due to the situation relating to coronavirus, the purchase of minibuses has been temporarily postponed, but the City Hall will definitely buy them later.

As Kakha Kaladze says in a video posted on Facebook, when the restrictions imposed in relation to the prevention of the spread of coronavirus in the country are lifted, the population will still have to consider the recommendations of specialists in order to avoid risks.

"We are implementing a lot of important projects in order to have clean air in the city and to improve the situation. For example, we have started a complete renewal of public transport. The buses will be replaced with new, environmentally clean buses, this process has already begun. The minibuses will also be completely replaced.

A tender has already been announced for the purchase of minibuses, however, due to the existing reality, the priorities have been changed. The purchase of minibuses has been temporarily postponed, although this will certainly be done, we will buy minibuses. It will happen a bit later, as today we have other priorities on the agenda. We have also implemented many projects for the rehabilitation of parks, some of them will be completed in the summer”, Kaladze said.
