President Ilham Aliyev participated in the opening of the Ganja Bus Depot of BakuBus LLC

On September 27, the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev participated in the opening of the Ganja bus depot of BakuBus LLC.

As reported by AZERTAG, the Minister of Digital Development and Transport Rashad Nabiyev informed the head of state about the conditions created at the bus depot.

Construction of the three-hundred-space bus depot began in January this year. The park with a total area of 10 hectares includes technical inspection points and repair stations, a fuel facility with an automated accounting system, and a bus washing complex with a capacity of 60 buses per hour. The creation of the bus depot provided jobs for 675 people, of whom 553 are drivers and 122 are administrative and technical staff.

BakuBus LLC will operate in Ganja on 18 existing and 2 new routes. 280 buses meeting the high EURO6 environmental standard have been delivered to the city. Of these, 45 have a capacity of 54 passengers, 186 have a capacity of 63 passengers, and 49 have a capacity of 102 passengers.

The implementation of this project plays a very important role, primarily from the perspective of modernizing the passenger transport infrastructure in Ganja - the largest city in the republic after the capital Baku. This allows passengers to reach their destination comfortably and safely, making a significant contribution to updating the city's transport fleet. The role of such projects is also important in terms of creating new jobs.

As a result of extensive analysis and research conducted in the city of Ganja, the route network was reorganized. The 32 existing route lines were optimized, and operations were determined for 22 route lines.

One of the important innovations is the application of advanced digital technologies in public transport. Fares on all buses operating in Ganja can be paid through the CityCard cashless payment system, any bank cards, as well as mobile payment systems.

As part of the passenger transportation system optimization, a Transport Exchange Point has been created in front of the railway station, where interaction between rail and road transport is ensured.

In areas with high traffic intensity and population density, 34 modern parking pavilions have been installed.

To improve road infrastructure, the asphalt pavement of 97 streets has been updated, and road markings have been applied to roads with a total length of 128 km. Based on the analysis conducted, suitable locations for micromobility lanes have been established.

Work has also been done to determine taxi pickup points, with 10 locations designated for taxi stands.

All this is an indicator of the work carried out by the state under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev to modernize districts, improve the level of services provided to the population, and, in general, ensure the sustainability of the socio-economic development of the country's regions.
