Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ At its regular meeting dated on December 25, the Cabinet decided to urgently study a possibility to resolve financing of a project on introducing aerial transport into public transport services of the capital city with soft loan of the Republic of France and convey the official request to the side of France within this year.


With the loan investment, it is planned to open two lines to reduce traffic jam from Bayankhoshuu area to III, IV micro districts and from Enkhtaivan (Peace) Bridge through the Chinggis Avenue. Around 2500-3000 passengers will be served by the aerial transport per an hour and it is calculated that it will take 16 minutes to travel from Bayankhoshuu to the Ard Ayush Avenue and 8 minutes from Zaisan to the city center.


Whereas, ‘Maglev (magnetic levitation) train’ project will be implemented within the framework of official financing for international development and public and private partnership. Nearly 21 thousand passengers will travel daily in route Tavan Shar-Officers’ Palace and road load on the Peace Avenue will decrease by 68 percent.


Moreover, special road bus BRT will be introduced in 2020 with 15 stations for starters in route Nisekh-7 buudal. It is projected to have around 60 stations in central roads of the capital in the next stage. As a result, it is expected to reduce traffic jam by 20-30 percent.
