Chisinau, 27 February /MOLDPRES/- Public transport in Chisinau will operate on weekend. This week, all transport units will operate as well.

According to Chisinau mayor Ion Ceban, when the transport will be diminished or restricted, crowd will be formed in the stations. "Today, we cannot control and diminish these processes. If we impose restrictions, the rush will be even greater. We are working to find solutions on the public transport side of the municipality. Next week, we will launch 20 trolleybuses in Chisinau. We see what we can do with the tender for buses, I mean the tender launched internationally, including the publication in the EU Journal of Public Procurement, for the purchase of the 100 buses, "Ceban wrote on his official website.
He noted that although schools will be closed, kindergartens remain open.
Yesterday, CNESP established a special activity regime on 1-15 March 2021.
