The bus fleet for the regular intra-city route No. 45, which connects the M.A. Rasulzade settlement in Baku's Binagadi district with the "Azadliq Prospekti" metro station, is being modernized. Starting May 13, seven new Isuzu HC45 buses will be deployed to serve passengers on this route, ensuring a more comfortable and efficient commute.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, citing the Azerbaijan Land Transport Agency (AYNA) under the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport, the new vehicles are equipped with environmentally friendly Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) technology. The buses will operate at intervals of 6-7 minutes. Additionally, the route has been adjusted to meet passenger demand, with the final stop now designated at the "Nasimi" metro station. Fares are set at 0.60 AZN, and payments are strictly cashless.
This modernization effort is part of Azerbaijan's broader strategy to upgrade the capital's public transport infrastructure and reduce carbon emissions. The Azerbaijan Land Transport Agency has been consistently replacing older vehicles with eco-friendly alternatives to improve service quality and safety in Baku. These initiatives align with the government's commitment to sustainable urban development and the expansion of modern transportation networks across the Republic of Azerbaijan.
