By Chisinau’s Day of next year, the residents of the municipality will be invited to the inauguration of a highway that will connect Mircea cel Batran Blvd, Bucovinei St, Stauceni commune (where there will be the terminus for the buses coming from the northern districts) and Ceucari St. Such a promise was made by the Liberal Democratic Party’s candidate for the mayoralty of Chisinau Serafim Urechean, IPN reports.

Urechean said the project was launched in 2000, when he was a mayor. To put it into practice, Mircea cel Batran Blvd must be extended by about 2 km.

The candidate considers all the buses that come from the country’s settlements must stop at the entrance to the city, from where the passengers should travel by trolleybuses. The terminus for the buses coming from western Moldova should be built near Vatra town, while for those coming from the central part of Moldova – beyond the airport. A bus station for the units of transport that run on international routes will be constructed on Calea Basarabiei St.

Serafim Urechean promises to build trolleybus lines to all the bus stations. Besides the 120 km of trolleybus lines built in the period during which he was a mayor, the Liberal-Democratic candidate estimated that about 60 km of lines more are needed. According to Urechean, the electrical, ecological pure transport must be the main means of public transport in Chisinau, until the tramway is brought to the city. Belgian investors expressed their readiness to have talks on the issue.

The candidate also said that he will not allow increasing fares and privatizing the Chisinau Urban Bus Company. On the contrary, he pledged to buy new trolleybuses with earned money, not with loans, and also promised to re-inventory the land owned by the municipality and to determine how parts of this land became private property.
