Trafiku Urban (TU) is the public transport company own by the Municipality of Pristina.[1] It operates with 15 lines in the urban area. Lines are operated through a public-private partnership. In 2016 the Municipality of Pristina purchased 51 new buses for the city produced by Iveco, in an attempt to modernize the fleet.
History
Trafiku Urban was established on 1st of April 1976 by the Municipality of Pristina as a public company.[2] It was developed in the year of rapid development of the city, when new neighborhoods emerged, and an influx of new residents was coming to the city. The buses from 1976 where used until 1999 when some of the lines got privatized. In 2016 the Municipality of Pristina signed a deal with EBRD to buy new buses for the first time since 1976. As part of the deal, a new Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan was commissioned. As of 2018, 51 new buses are operating in 15 lines of the urban transport system with the plan to reorganize into 20 lines by 2019.[3]
The current 15 lines of bus transportation in the city carry approximate 21,600,000 travelers per year.[4] The number is expected to grow as the company Mott Macdonald is developing the new Urban Mobility Plan for the city.[5] The measures taken to reduce car usage in the city is considered to have a good impact on bus usage for the city residents, potentially increasing the number of users of the urban transport system.
