The EBRD is committed to loaning nearly half a billion dollars over the next three years to dramatically upgrade mass transit in Kyiv. By 2021, the capital should see new buses, trolleybuses and subway cars, says Mayor Klitschko. As part of the EBRD’s Green Cities program, the mayor says, the EBRD has approved €320 million in funding for four projects, including renovating tram lines around Podil’s Kontraktova Square and renovating Metro Bridge, first opened over the Dnipro in 1965. Separately, the EBRD is loaning €100 million for the purchase of 50 new subway cars, 185 new buses and 202 new trolleybuses. Bohdan Motors of Lutsk recently won a tender to supply 55 extra-long trolleybuses.
