Aktobe continues to update its bus fleet. New modern buses will be on the line soon. Qala Trans LLP, through the Industry Development Fund, has purchased 15 new Golden Dragon articulated buses with a length of 18 meters, which will soon begin running on route No. 46.As part of the celebration of Independence Day, Akim of the region Askhat Shakharov inspected the new public transport that entered the city's fleet and noted the importance of improving the quality of passenger transportation for residents.The new buses can accommodate 160 people, have 35 seats, are equipped with ramps for people with disabilities and are equipped with air conditioning and video surveillance systems. "To improve the quality of passenger transportation, we previously introduced electronic ticketing, which made the fare payment system transparent. This allowed local executive bodies to purchase new buses through the Industry Development Fund on preferential loans, and the state allocates subsidies to support carriers. Our goal is to make public transport more attractive. About 80% of the population uses buses, and we must create good travel conditions for them. It is necessary to equip modern bus stops in the city and lay sidewalks. Much has already been done, but more needs to be done. We allocate funds from the regional budget for this. We always listen to the opinion of the citizens and actively work with them to create public transport that will be as convenient and accessible as possible for everyone," the mayor stressed.Taking the opportunity, Askhat Shakharov appealed to all road users to behave carefully on the city's roads, and to passengers to take care of the new buses."The new buses, despite their size, are suitable for our streets. They will be tested for several days and then go on routes. I want to appeal to drivers of private transport: be careful on the roads, follow the rules and respect all road users," the mayor said.It is worth noting that the buses currently operating on route 46 will be transferred to routes 6 and 48.It should be added that by the end of the year, 25 more Yutong buses are expected to be delivered to Avtopark LLP, which will improve service on routes No. 42, No. 14 and No. 26. In October of this year, the company acquired 25 Yutong buses, which now serve routes No. 22 and No. 24.In addition, RTT Group LLP has updated the fleet on routes No. 29 and No. 44, adding 4 Isuzu buses and 10 Yutong buses.In Aktobe, passenger transportation is carried out by five companies, which are tasked to continue updating the bus fleet.

Thanks to the implementation of the tasks set by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the district demonstrates positive results in agriculture, construction, housing sales and retail trade, where indicators exceed 100%. However, problematic areas remain: a decrease in volumes in industry and investment to 96.8% and 38.4%, respectively.

It is necessary to strengthen work in this direction. The district also has deposits of oil, gas, coal and construction materials, but the mining industry is developing slowly. Active involvement of investors is required for the development of these fields. It is necessary to develop processing plants in the district, increase the number of greenhouses and vegetable storages in order to provide the district and the region with vegetable products. Today, there are only five greenhouses in the district, which is clearly not enough. I instruct the newly appointed akim of the district to keep these tasks under strict control and ensure their timely implementation.

All efforts should be aimed at achieving these goals," the head of the region noted.Almas Zhaksylykov assured that he would do everything possible to fulfill the goals and objectives set for him.
