A traffic management system at junctions has been installed for trams and a second metro line is under construction. In recent years the city purchased 23 units for the Rapid City Train, 261 trams with capability of recovering energy from braking and 35 6-coach metro sets. We encourage car drivers to use public transport, which has a share of nearly 60% in the modal split, out of which more than 50% of are done by electric transport: railways, trams and metro. Warsaw is also a Polish leader as to alternative fuels/propulsions. The City is a member of the “E-Mobil” Cluster, which acts in this field. The municipal bus company operates 4 hybrid buses and recently purchased 35 LNG buses, while the tender for 10 electric buses is in progress. The plan for year 2020 includes as many as 130 e-buses. The City introduced as well a very successful city bike system Veturilo (125 stations with 2100 bikes). There are also plans to create on this basis in future a car-sharing scheme with electric cars. | (52.2296756°, 21.0122287°) | (51.919438°, 19.145136°) | |
