This is the most important thing in our work, because the back should always be comfortable." The new products are also comfortable for passengers. Soft seats, low floor. Each trolleybus can accommodate up to 107 people. Alexander Zakharov, correspondent: "The cabin is quite spacious. There is even room for a stroller with children, a wheelchair. If desired, you can fasten your seat belt. Plus, it is warm inside, which is rare in trolleybuses." The first two units of electric transport are currently undergoing commissioning. The doors are being adjusted, and the electronic display is being connected. By the end of the week, two more of the same trolleybuses will arrive at the enterprise and will go out on city lines. It is planned to launch one on routes 1, 3, 5 and 9. Denis Pyrlog, Director of JSC "YarGET": "Our passengers will see at least two trolleybuses in the city next week.
