Mayor of Astana Zhenis Kassymbek spoke on his Instagram page about the work of the city's public transport, the official website of the capital's akimat reports.
"I visited the office of the CTS Central Dispatch Service. This center monitors and controls all buses in the city: it sees the status of public transport, whether it arrives on the line on time, whether it is necessary to adjust the operation of buses during congestion, traffic intensity, etc.
Over the past two years, more than 700 new buses have been launched on the line, which has allowed us to upgrade our public transport fleet by 45%. Due to this and the modernization of the system, passenger traffic increased by 26%. For example, if in 2023 the passenger traffic per day averaged 755 thousand passengers, then in 2024 it will be 950 thousand people.
Due to the introduction of Bus Lane, the waiting time for buses has decreased, and the average speed of transport has increased to 16 km/h. In areas where smart traffic lights have been introduced, the average speed of transport has been increased to 30 km/h.
In addition, a pilot project for monitoring bus loading was presented today. In order to increase passenger control, the system will see exactly how many stowaways are on each bus. This will allow the Department of Transport Control to work more efficiently accordingly and increase the detection of stowaways, thereby reducing their number.
The concept of a unified transport management center based on CTS was also presented. If we now see the status of buses in real time, then this project is also planned to be implemented with the municipal services of the city: how many harvesting and irrigation equipment are on the line, etc.
We will continue all the above-described works, including the development of road infrastructure, this year," the mayor of the capital wrote.
