In Lutsk the trolleybuses have all the chances to replace buses. Since the beginning of the year the locals started to use them more frequently. According to the regional statistics service, more than 8.5 thousand people used trolleybuses in January what is 30% more than last year.
The figures can change, if the plan of buying Swiss trolleybuses is realized. The public transport is 20 year old. The Ukrainian delegation observed it and decided to buy despite its age.
Now Lutsk locals use even older trolleybuses. There are those, which are more than 50 years old, while Swiss have air conditioning and entrance for people with special needs.
Lutsk town council will buy two vehicles a month starting from April. European used trolleybuses are ten times cheaper than new Ukrainian ones. However, the exact price is not publicized.
