Recommendations
Jelgava is currently testing this project but has already said that the buses are much better than expected. Residents are also satisfied with the quiet driving. Nice to see that not only charging has been thought of, but educational campaigns have been included. It is hoped that emission-free buses will also be purchased in the future.
