Metinvest Group to spend UAH 8 million on buses for Mariupol residents

25 March 2014

Metinvest Group will help solve transportation issues in Mariupol after Mariupol Mayor Yuriy Khotlubey talked to the Company's management.

UAH 8 million will be allocated to purchase new buses to transport passengers between the Left Bank and Ilyichevsky districts. According to experts, this route should have about 20 buses that run every 5-10 minutes. However, today only 4-5 buses serve this route, three of which are provided by Ilyich Iron and Steel Works of Mariupol to take employees to work.

Given the importance of the issue to the community, Metinvest Group decided to increase its planned budget for social partnership projects. The UAH 8 million to purchase the buses will be provided on top of the UAH 23 million.

 Yuriy Ryzhenkov, Chief Executive Officer of Metinvest Group:

"I want to thank the city council and the community of Mariupol for their cooperation. I would like to give special credit to City Mayor Yuriy Khotlubey for the great effort he puts into our partnership projects. Together, we participate in city clean-up days and cleaned snow recently. We quickly responded to a request from the mayor last year and allocated about UAH 800,000 to repair roads. Another challenge Mariupol faces is traffic between the left and right banks. We will provide an additional UAH 8 million to purchase buses to improve transportation on these routes."
