Green Cities 2W2 - Pristina Urban Transport II The Project consists of the purchase of 30 new buses which will be added to the  Company's existing bus fleet to expand its operations across Pristina to  increase the bus service frequency on existing routes, and to expand the  Company's operations on additional new routes. Among these, 6 electric buses  will be deployed on a pilot route with the aim to introduce electric bus  technology for the first time in the country.  The Project's objective is to increase services and improve the reliability,  sustainability, safety and efficiency of Pristina's public transport. The  Project is expected to bring the following benefits:              * Extend and improve public transport services in the city of Pristina;   * Support a continued shift from private cars to public transport;   * Facilitate easy access for passengers, particularly those with limited  movement, including the elderly and the disabled;   * Improve the reliability, safety and efficiency of public transport;   * Reduce air pollution emissions from public transport, improving local air  quality; and   * Reduce GHG through the launch of a pilot electric bus route.  The  introduction of an electric bus route is an important step towards developing a  sustainable urban transport system. Fleet electrification strategies typically  start with an initial limited number of vehicles allocated to specific bus  routes for operational and demonstration purposes. This allows familiarisation  with technology and maintenance and limits the risks of purchase of full fleets  under rapid technological development. The same strategy is considered to be  appropriate for Pristina, where the operator aims to introduce electric bus  technology for the first time in the country by purchasing 6 electric vehicles  to operate on a flagship circular route passing through Pristina city center.  This pilot will be used to gain experience of the operation of public electric  buses and will facilitate the continued transition of the fleet to electric  buses in the future.  The introduction of electric buses and EURO VI buses will reduce GHG  emissions by 76% compared to the baseline and will deliver a substantial  reduction of air pollutant emissions, making the Project eligible for EBRD  Green Cities and compatible with the Green Economy Transition Approach  2021-2025 (BDS20-082/F).
