The municipal enterprise «City Roads» is responsible for 1012 public transport stops in Odessa.
Specialists regularly conduct cleaning of adjacent areas, repair and restore bins, benches, and pavilions, as well as wash and paint them.
Since the beginning of the year, glass walls at stops have been replaced (almost 163 sq.m). Roofs have been repaired at 17 stops, and benches at 37. A total of 91 bins have been repaired, and 99 stops and 512 bins have been painted.
Unfortunately, the issue of vandalism remains pressing. Almost every day, unknown individuals leave graffiti, break benches, tear out bins along with concrete, and smash the glass walls of the stops. Damage also occurs due to traffic accidents.
Once again, the Odessa city council urges residents and visitors to treat municipal property with care. Intentional damage to municipal property is subject to criminal liability.
