Ufa mayor talks about city electric transport

During an operational meeting in the Ufa administration, city mayor Ratmir Mavliev discussed the future of electric transport.

According to him, the decision was made to purchase 15 new modern trolleybuses with an extended autonomous running time manufactured by the Ufa Tram and Trolleybus Plant. Ten of them will be delivered in August 2025, and the remaining five will be delivered at the beginning of 2026.

"The equipment has proven itself well, thanks to the comprehensive work, the rolling stock has already been updated by 40%. We pay special attention to staffing. We have almost doubled the salaries of trolleybus and tram drivers. We also see great potential in the so-called accordion trolleybuses. After the certification procedure, we will look for funds to purchase them," Ratmir Mavliev said. Regarding tram transportation, the mayor of Ufa reported that work on modernizing tram lines will begin shortly, for which funding has already been allocated. The city will also pay attention to the condition of electric transport stops and the convenience of adjacent pedestrian paths.
