Enhancing Paphos’s Public Transport Infrastructure
In a significant move to bolster the public transport system, Paphos Mayor Phaedon Phaedonos showcased the city’s commitment to enhancing mobility during a visit from Transport Minister Alexis Vafeades. The mayor highlighted that the municipality funded and carried out important projects, demonstrating a proactive approach in developing a modern and efficient transport network.
The municipality’s initiatives include the construction of the Karavela bus terminal and the establishment of transfer stations at strategic locations such as the harbour and Tombs of the Kings Avenue. These projects are not only pivotal for improving the daily commute of residents but also play a crucial role in supporting the bustling tourism sector of Paphos.
According to a municipal statement, these enhancements are on the verge of completion and will soon feature advanced “smart” boarding stops equipped with the latest technology. Additionally, new sanitation facilities are set to elevate the overall user experience. This investment in public transport infrastructure reflects the city’s dedication to creating a seamless and accessible transit system for both locals and visitors alike.
The collaborative efforts between the municipality and the Ministry of Transport are a testament to Paphos’s vision of a sustainable and tourist-friendly city. With these municipal projects nearing their final stages, Paphos is poised to set a benchmark for other cities aiming to upgrade their public transport services.
