The development programme of the municipal enterprise “Druzhkivka Autoelectrotrans” up to 2025 has been published.
Planned investments in the Druzhkivka tram system were expected to exceed 56 million hryvnias. Over a three-year period, the funds were to be allocated for subsidising passenger transport, dispatching services, staff salaries, and tax payments.
In addition, a modernisation of the city’s tram network was planned, including:
— rehabilitation of tram operations on Routes 1, 2, and 4;
— creation of a passing and layover point in Donskyi Settlement and installation of a second track along Potyomkin Street (now called Mykola Rudenko Street);
— major overhauls of tramcars.
The programme also envisaged the restoration of Tram Route 6 (Central City Hospital – Rostok Market, via Verkhnia Havrylivka and Toretska Hospital).
However, due to the outbreak of hostilities, the investment programme was never implemented.
