Klitschko: All 85 new buses purchased with EIB loan already in service on Kyiv's bus routes
The capital has completed a project to supply 85 new buses purchased from Turkey using a loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB), Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko has said.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced on Wednesday that all 85 new buses procured from Turkey using a loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB) are now actively operating on the city's bus routes. The buses were procured as part of a financial agreement under Ukraine's Urban Public Transport project, with a loan amounting to EUR 18.5 million.
Spanning 12 meters in length, these modern buses boast low floors, ramps for wheelchair accessibility, video surveillance, and energy-efficient LED lighting. Each of the 27-seat vehicles can accommodate up to 80 standing passengers. Klitschko expressed gratitude to the EIB for its role in enhancing the city's public transportation system and modernizing the fleet of Kyivpastrans. The buses were delivered in multiple deliveries from September 2025 to June 2026.
