ZTM tender for transport service has been closed. The lowest price offer for one bus-kilometer was submitted by Mobilis company. The company will introduce 50 new articulated buses.
Three companies submitted their offers: Mobilis, Veolia Transport and ITS Michalczewski. The submitted offers were opened on April 28. The lowest price PLN 7.56 gross was proposed by Mobilis. ZTM will sign a contract with the contractor at the end of next week.
The contract with Mobilis will expire at the end of November 2018. The buses will be introduced to the streets in succession. The first part will be introduced half year after signing the contract. The last part – four months later, that is ten month after signing the contract. The buses will operate on the most overloaded lines of the whole transport network. They will cover approximately 4 million bus-kilometers a year. The passengers will have perfect comfort in the buses.
New, low-floor Mobilis buses will be able to take 190 passengers. They will be equipped with air-conditioning and comfortable soft seats. The upholstery will have the symbols of Warsaw – the Mermaid and the King Sigismund’s Column.
All vehicles will have a monitoring system and automatic firefighting equipment. Drivers will have radio communication to contact a controller, which will significantly increase safety level of passengers. Moreover, modern LCD displays providing current information and ticket machines will be installed. Engines will meet the highest EURO 5 emission standards for vehicles.
ZTM is also concerned for disabled passengers. The buses apart from the low-floor facility will be also fitted with stop announcement system, special platforms facilitating entering bus in a wheelchair and Braille buttons.
