The goal is to make all buses in the municipal fleet available with wireless internet access, USB outlets for recharging mobile devices, and air conditioning. In 2019, new municipal public transport service concession contracts were signed. Such contracts provide for several improvements in the functioning of the system. With regard to comfort and amenities on buses, by 2024, 100% of buses operating in the city will have wireless internet service, USB sockets for recharging mobile devices and air conditioning. With the provision of these services, citizens will be able to take advantage of their travel time with the possibility of using mobile devices to carry out other leisure or work activities.
