EU Ambassador to Georgia Carl Hartzell has stated that the project aims to make Batumi ‘greener’ and to support the green economy in Georgia.
The buses are fully adapted to the needs of people with disabilities.
Local authorities say that several streets have been remade for the new vehicles and bus-lines were painted.
