An electric bus will start running in Veliko Tarnovo from August. The municipality is working on a project for the purchase of ten electric buses; they will replace the trolleys which were granted to a halt 6 years ago. The main objective behind the plan of the Municipality is for the ecological public transport to be restored. The administration is hoping to secure a funding of 10 million levs for its integrated plan for urban mobility under Regions in Growth 2014 – 2020 Operational Programme. A special charging station will also be supplied; it will take just 7 minutes for the vehicles to recharge their full capacity. Electric busses can travel up to 25 kilometers when fully charged. Veliko Tarnovo Municipality will buy 10 of the vehicles when the European funds are granted. Once they arrive, they will be given for exploitation by the public transport carriers in Veliko Tarnovo. Currently public transport is served by two companies.
