Public transportation is vital for any major city. For Volosgrad, this is no exception. But unfortunately, Volosgrads public transportation is rather lacking. Something the Volosgrad City Council is all too aware of. And today, they look to change it. It's been announced that investments and efforts to develop the city's public transportation. Particularly with a focus on buses and teams. As such, the city has begun designing plans for an integrated tram and integrated bus network into the city, with the goal being to minimize potential disruptions. The Volosgrad Transit Authority (Валаградскае транспартнае ўпраўленне) will begin mapping out potential routes and plans for trams and buses. The goal will be to make sure public transportation isn't sidelined, but a main focus of Volosgrad. So far, 3 initial routes are being planned. East to West, North to South, and a cultural district loop. Pragmatic, and viable for tourists and history seekers.

The later phases of this goal is to launch the buses and trams, building the infrastructure for said public transportation, and roll the out en masse. Public transportation keeps cars off the road (allowing more mobility, essential transportation, commercial goods to be faster, and avoids traffic), and it also gives Volosgrad an identity beyonds being the capital. The City Council has confirmed that public transportation is a right, not a privilege and will be fully cost free. This is not only effective at normalizing it, but you can't beat the price of free. The buses and trams are likely to be contracted for construction from other Republics, but aren't expected to be rolled out onto Volosgrad until next summer. Already existing buses will need to be modernized, and will currently be given a funding boost to ensure smoother management.

This isn't going to be easily done for awhile, and is expected to fully he accomplished within a few years, but the Volosgrad City Council is certain that the move will benefit Volosgradians for decades to come.
