The project envisages the construction of two new terminals, transport centers, as well as the purchase of new energy efficient CNG buses, the transport ministry said in a press release.

The new system is planned to incorporate two priority lanes for the new buses linking the city horizontally and vertically. These two routes will intersect at the centre of the city, the statement read.

The EBRD is lending 70 million euro to North Macedonia for the implementation of the project, according to an earlier statement by the bank.
