The main focus of the meeting was on the fact that the current railway network could become an effective and fast means of transportation for residents, especially during peak hours. Participants discussed the possibilities of integrating railway services with the already existing routes.
In particular, it was proposed to create new bus routes that would connect bus stations and railway stations with residential areas and important points in the city. This approach would allow for the organization of convenient transfer hubs and reduce the load on roadways.
Additionally, issues of digital support for future transport services were discussed, including the implementation of GPS monitoring of trains and displaying the schedules of both railway and ground transport in real-time in the "My City" app.
As a result of the meeting, responsible agencies were tasked with thoroughly working out the technical, logistical, and organizational aspects of this project. The city administration emphasizes that the development of alternative modes of transport will be an important part of the capital's sustainable mobility strategy.
