As part of the Ministry of Development's initiative «Shoulder to Shoulder: United Communities», Odesa has received 27 new buses from Kropyvnytskyi, Mykolaiv, Lviv, and the Mariupol community.

The city continues to operate existing social routes that duplicate the patterns of the urban electric transport.
 
Additionally, a new route has been established: «Freedom Avenue – Architect Street» (1 unit). It mirrors tram route No. 27.

On January 6, 5 more buses arrived in Odesa as part of the «Shoulder to Shoulder» project, this time from Zhytomyr. These are articulated buses that will be donated to the city.

They will soon undergo testing and will be added to the city routes alongside the existing transport from other communities.
