As they stood in the depot and not used professionals Inc “Voronezhavtotrans” will need to test them, to conduct all the necessary technical operations.

Before the introduction of the regime of self-isolation on the line every day was about 30 “horned” cars. Due to the sharp decrease in the number of passengers, the movement of trolleybuses was stopped for two months, now its resume.

is out of line buses spend on average one hundred liters of gasoline per day. On their machines you vegetate so much for three to four weeks, noted public men. – Buses daily produce several tons of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and some of the heavy metals. Therefore, wherever possible, the bus should be replaced by trolleybuses, which does not produce a single gram of harmful substances and radiation. We need to move in the direction in which go the advanced countries: less buses, more electric drive train.
According to the estimates of activists, Voronezh edabuse and taxis (about a thousand) impact on the environment equivalent to 150 thousand cars. And almost half of the city’s fleet.
the Reform of public transport in Voronezh suggests that the number of trolleys for two or three years will rise to 90.
