Buses on Vasilyevsky Island want to replace electric buses. But previous tests of electric buses failed
In 2018, electric buses will be launched on the Vasilievsky Island and on parts of the Petrograd side, the chairman of the Petersburg Transport Committee, Alexander Golovin, said. Previous tests of electric bus models, according to him, were not successful: they did not have enough charge for a full route. According to Golovin, by the next year, the committee will be purchased and commissioned by 50 electric buses. He emphasizes that in this way all buses will gradually replace.
