New buses for Kormakitis, Karpasia
The Council of Ministers approved the purchase of two new buses to serve the transportation needs of the communities in Rizokarpaso, Kormakitis, and Karpasia. This decision was made in response to a request highlighting the urgent need for new buses in these areas. The buses, with seating capacities of 30 for Kormakitis and Karpasia and 50 for Rizokarpaso, are expected to be operational within the next 18-20 months. They aim to facilitate access to hospitals and meet other transportation needs of internally displaced persons. The acquisition was prompted by the unsustainable maintenance and repair costs of the existing fleet.
