Transport Minister Mile Janakieski signed Wednesday an agreement for procurement of 202 double-decker buses - 200 closed ones in retro style and two open to be driven throughout the city - with Chinese company Zhengzhou Yutong Group.
The newly-manufactured buses will be designed like the buses used in Skopje in the 1950s and 1960s, said Minister Janakieski after signing the agreement.
- The buses will be characteristic exclusively for Skopje. They will be unique, which means they are not in mass production, meeting all the required standards, said Janakieski. One bus will be donated to Ohrid for promotion of tourism.
The buses will be procured in a period of three years.
The Yutong Group is one of the biggest companies focused on bus production worldwide. It manufactures 150 buses daily.
The Chinese company was chosen as the most favourable bidder at a tender for bus procurement.
Several months ago, an agreement was signed for procurement of 80 single and four articulated buses with Ukraine's Lvivski Avtobusni Zavody LTD.
