Passengers of buses moving in the streets of the Georgian capital of Tbilisi will have access to free Wi-Fi in 2019, announces Tbilisi Transport Company.
“It is planned to provide free Wi-Fi in new buses. Tbilisi Transport Company and Tbilisi City Hall are working on the technical details. The service will be introduced from January 2019, along with the introduction of the new buses.
“As for the old yellow buses, they will likely not have this service due to technical problems. However, by the end of 2019, all buses will have been replaced by new ones”, read the press release by the Tbilisi Transport Company.
All taxis driving in the streets of Georgia’s capital of Tbilisi will be required to be white, following a decision made by Tbilisi City Hall today.
The third stage of mandatory vehicle inspections will start in Georgia on October 1, 2018, announces the Georgian Ministry of Economy.
What regulations are coming into play?
Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze and his team have presented a new transport policy for the capital of Georgia that aims to offload road traffic and to improve the environmental conditions of Tbilisi.
A total of 200 smart cameras, which are able to detect license plate numbers, are fully operational in Georgia’s capital of Tbilisi starting from July 9, aiming to expose even minor traffic violations.
About 200 yellow minibuses and 100 buses failed inspections and are banned from use on roads, announces Transport Department of Tbilisi City Hall.
Ten vehicle inspection centres were issuing fake certificates of road worthiness, announces the Investigation Service of Georgia’s Ministry of Finance, based on monitoring studies conducted in different regions of Georgia.
What’s in store for Tbilisi?
Georgia is launching the first stage of a green policy aiming to introduce eco-friendly transport in the country. The project ‘Green Policy – Eco-friendly Transport’ includes the development of an environmentally friendly and comfortable transport fleet.
Ninety green buses will gradually appear in the Georgian capital Tbilisi starting tomorrow and serve passengers, Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze stated in a live video from Poland today, where he visited the MAN factory.
Three hundred smart cameras will be installed over bus lines and bicycle tracks in Tbilisi to record violations and control the speed of vehicles.
