Taking into consideration the increasing demand of passengers due to easing of the special quarantine regime, the number and the running interval of the buses setting out on daily run are kept under control, Baku Transport Agency told APA.
In the directions experiencing respectively more passenger rush in the morning and the evening hours, the additional number of buses are involved in passenger transportations along regular and express route lines. Every day, a total of 1,820 units of buses are released to route lines across Baku City of which about 830 units are running in the direction of the suburban villages and settlements. About 20 units of 18 meters’ long buses have also been involved in passenger transportations for the first time.
