Ufa’s bold bus stop upgrade faces delays despite 40 new shelters installed
A modern shelter has been installed at the Eye Microsurgery bus stop, marking a significant development in Ufa's public transportation infrastructure. This move comes as part of the city's ongoing project to upgrade its bus stops, with 40 already completed by early September. However, the city administration clarifies that this is an isolated case and not part of a new strategy.
The city of Ufa has ambitious plans to revamp its bus stop infrastructure. A total of 340 modern bus stops are slated for installation, with 150 scheduled to be built by winter. The construction of these shelters is being carried out by Ufa-based company Evrika, under a contract worth 151 million rubles. Work on these new bus stops is already underway, with contracts having been awarded.
However, the process has not been without its challenges. Some kiosk owners have taken legal action against the administration, which has led to delays in the demolition of old bus stops. This has resulted in a situation where, despite a new shelter being installed at Eye Microsurgery, the old one remains standing, causing inconvenience to users and passersby.
The city's plans do not stop at the current phase. Following the initial 150 bus stops, another 150 are set to be built the subsequent year. This comprehensive upgrade is aimed at improving the comfort and safety of public transport users in Ufa.
The installation of a modern shelter at the Eye Microsurgery bus stop is a step forward in Ufa's plans to upgrade its bus stop infrastructure. With 40 already completed and 340 planned in total, the city is committed to improving public transport facilities. Despite legal challenges and delays, the project is progressing, with 150 shelters scheduled for completion by winter. The city's plans extend beyond this phase, with another 150 shelters planned for the following year.
