In the city of Odesa, the municipal enterprise «City Roads» is actively involved in repairing public transport stops. Unfortunately, incidents of vandalism occur daily: unknown individuals damage benches, destroy trash bins, and break glass at the stops. Some stops are also damaged due to traffic accidents and military actions.
Since the beginning of 2025, vandals have broken glass at 31 transport stops, and another 7 stops were damaged due to attacks. The enterprise's workers also clean inscriptions and announcements left on the walls of the stops.
The municipal enterprise services a total of 1012 public transport stops.
Specialists regularly carry out cleaning and maintenance of the adjacent territories, repair and restore trash bins, benches, and pavilions, and also wash and paint them.
The Odesa City Council once again urges residents and visitors to take care of community property. Willful destruction of municipal property carries criminal responsibility.
