What are the prospects for the future of the Karosas in Vilnius? Are they going to be withdrawn soon or is there a chance they will still be in regualar service next year?
Technically they all had to be withdrawn by 2015. If someone will participate in tender for 85 buses (which I highly doubt), they are all going to scrapyard. If not - well who knows. VVT desperately needs articulated buses.
P.S. tender should start this month and it is planned that in summer-autumn there should be 85 new buses of private operator.
Why do you have doubts about the tender - are the offered rates not attractive?
Yes, they aren`t. There are no companies in LT to be able to buy 40 new buses and create bus depot at rates which are lower than existing for VVT. And who would like to work for Vilnius municipality which at the moment owes VVT over 30 million euro?
