As part of the Ministry of Development's initiative «Shoulder to Shoulder: United Communities», Odesa has added 27 new buses (from the cities of Kropyvnytskyi, Mykolaiv, Lviv, and the Mariupol community).

The existing social routes continue to operate, mirroring the routes of the city's electric transport.
 
Additionally, a new route has been introduced: «Freedom Avenue – Architect Street» (1 bus). This route parallels tram line No. 27.

On January 6, Odesa received another 5 buses from Zhytomyr as part of the «Shoulder to Shoulder» project. These are articulated buses that will be gifted to the city.

They will soon undergo testing and will be added to the city's transport network along with other buses from different communities.
