Second European Games in Belarus

MINSK, 16 August (BelTA) – All the bus, trolleybus, and tram stops inside the first transport ring in Minsk will be fitted with digital information displays ahead of the 2nd European Games Minsk 2019, BelTA learned from Valery Shkuratov, Director of the Minsk city mass transit system coordinating company Metropolitan Transport and Communications, on 16 August.

An action plan is being implemented in Minsk to improve the quality of passenger service. Progress is ahead of schedule. Over 270 displays have been installed to show up-to-date information about the work of the mass transit system. “We have to fit all the stops inside the first ring with information displays before the 2nd European Games Minsk 2019,” said Valery Shkuratov.

There are a total of about 320 public transport lines in Minsk, with their length approaching 4,000km. Over 2,000 vehicles carry about 2 million passengers in the city on a daily basis. The deployment of information displays, which can show how soon the next vehicle arrives at a specific bus stop, began in Minsk in 2012.
