The Municipal Enterprise «City Roads» is responsible for 1012 public transport stops in Odesa.
Experts regularly carry out cleaning of the surrounding areas, repair and restoration of benches, bins, and shelters, as well as washing and painting them.
Since the beginning of the year, the specialists have replaced glass walls of stops (almost 163 sq.m). Additionally, roofs of 17 stops and benches at 37 stops have been repaired. A total of 91 trash bins have been renovated. 99 transport stops and 512 bins have been painted.
Unfortunately, vandalism remains a pressing issue. Almost daily, unknown individuals damage benches, leave graffiti, break bins including concrete, and shatter the glass walls of stops. Stops are also damaged due to traffic accidents.
The Odesa city hall once again urges residents and visitors to treat municipal property with care. Intentional damage to city property carries criminal liability.
