The Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, said that electric buses could become part of Tirana’s public transportation system within this year.

The Mayor said that the cooperation and contribution of Poland, exchanging experience of Albanian and Polish public transportation employees, could bring positive results within this year, while the first order of electric buses has been made.

Veliaj said that Tirana is working very fast to build 10 kilometres of cycling lanes and that 4000 new bicycles will be added to Tirana’s road within a month.

“If you walk around Tirana you can see there is an entire network of bicycles, the fruit of a project funded by the Dutch Embassy in Tirana. We are not only completing the new lanes, but there will be 4000 new bicycles in Tirana within a month, a revolution in the functionality of our city”, Veliaj said.
