In a bid to revitalise the historic centre of Nicosia, the city’s Municipality has revealed plans to purchase 13 mini buses to connect the capital’s centre with greater urban areas.
As reported by the Cyprus Mail, the Municipality hopes to encourage accessibility to the historic ‘Old Town’ via sustainable means of transport.
The small size of the buses is imagined as being ideal for movement within the walls and care has been taken to seek user and environmentally friendly vehicles.
The vehicles will also have low-floor easy access for people in wheelchairs.
The buses, which can transport up to 20 passengers at a time, are to be delivered within eight months.
The €1.1 million deal was signed by Nicosia Mayor Constantinos Yiorkadjis and the General Manager of the Cyprus Import Corporation Ltd (Mercedes Benz), Alexis Anninos.
