Impact of Opening Makarios Avenue on Citizens and Public Transport

June 1, 2025

Taxpayers will be responsible for compensation claims from the Nicosia public transport company due to the decision to open Makarios Avenue to all vehicles. This will incur costs for all Cypriots, as it will impact the Pame Express program. The company warns that if the decision is implemented, the increased use of cars will lead to traffic chaos in the city. They urge the city council to reconsider this decision.
