Skopje – The Skopje “Public Transportation Company” (JSP) has received six new eco-friendly buses powered by compressed natural gas, courtesy of the “EU for Clean Air” initiative, a donation from the European Union.
During the handover ceremony at the JSP Directorate, European Union ambassador to North Macedonia, Mihail Rokas, highlighted the significance of the project, which amounts to 10 million euros. He stated that it aims to tackle air pollution, a pressing environmental issue that affects citizens’ health, particularly during the heating season.
The project also encompasses the cities of Bitola, Kumanovo, Skopje, and Tetovo, all of which are grappling with heightened air pollution.
“Transportation is a major contributor to carbon dioxide emissions in our atmosphere. By providing these buses, we encourage citizens to opt for public transport over private vehicles. Our goal is to minimize the pollution caused by public transport,” Rokas emphasized. (November 26)
