Bus service in Sochi to expand with the introduction of a new bus route

The Department of Transportation and Road Management in Sochi has announced the launch of a new bus route, No. 500. Medium-class buses are scheduled to begin serving this route on September 2.

According to the scheme provided, bus route No. 500 operates in a circular pattern from School No. 38 (Sovkhoz Rossiya) to key points including the Sirius Sports Center and Tsvetnaya Street, and back to School No. 38. Stops on this route are organised near schools, residential microdistricts, and social facilities, providing convenient access for residents and students.

However, the scheme does not provide information about the fare for the ride, the number of buses that will be serving the route, the frequency of the buses or the exact times they will run. Additionally, there is no mention of any special services or accommodations for disabled passengers or elderly passengers.

It's worth noting that previously, bus No. 49 was reported to resume its regular route from September 1, but this information is not shown in the provided scheme. It is unclear whether bus No. 49 will continue to operate alongside bus No. 500 or if it will be replaced entirely.

Furthermore, the scheme does not indicate any potential detours or changes in the route due to construction or other factors. This means that passengers can expect a consistent route for their commute.

The head of the transport authority in Sochi responsible for launching the new bus line No. 500 is not publicly specified. Nonetheless, the launch of this new route is expected to provide a much-needed transportation solution for the residents and students of Sochi.
