General information

Description of the project

Currently, the transport system of Dnipro cannot provide quality services for residents and guests of the city, the surface transport system, based on the use of buses and minibuses, is unable to ensure the efficiency of urban transportation, especially against the background of an increase in the number of cars, which leads to traffic jams. The project is included in the General Plan for the Development of Transport Infrastructure in the City of Dnipro and is aimed at developing the public transport system in the central part of the city. The project is designed to improve public transport services in the city of Dnipro within the framework of an overall strategy aimed at ensuring sustainable and clean functioning of public transport in the city of Dnipro

Problems and solutions resulting from project implementation

Given that the registered population of Dnipro is about one million people and includes a significant number of workers and students, the existing transport system, which was initially based on the use of buses and minibuses, is no longer able to ensure the efficiency of urban traffic, especially against the background of an increase in the number of cars, which leads to traffic jams. The expansion of the metro system in Dnipro is directly related to ensuring the possibility of reducing the use of traditional passenger and private transport in the central part of the city, which will allow expanding the existence of pedestrian and public areas, increasing environmental performance and achieving high social indicators of improvement. It is necessary to connect the upland area of the city, which has a large number of educational institutions, with the railway and bus stations and factories of the city, by underground transport.
