Mongolia's capital to buy 200 school buses to ease traffic, boost safety www.xinhuanet.com
The municipal government of Mongolia's capital Ulan Bator said Tuesday it is buying 200 more school buses this year to reduce traffic congestion and ensure student safety.
"To improve access to the school transportation, we planned to buy 200 more school buses within this year. Today, we are handing over the first 75 buses to relevant schools," the city's mayor's press office said in a statement.
Traffic congestion has been one of the most pressing issues in the Mongolian capital for many years.
Parents driving their children to school are said to be one of the major factors of the traffic congestion in the city.
To cope with this problem, Ulan Bator, home to more than half of Mongolia's population of 3.2 million, launched a school bus service with 40 buses last year. Enditem
