Essahem Company for Public Transportation signed a contract Tuesday with China's King Long Company, one of the biggest firms specialized in manufacturing buses, to supply Libya with 140 city buses.

The company clarified that the first batch will consist of 37 buses and is due to arrive in Tripoli within four months, noting that the routes of the new buses will be confirmed later.

The step aims at solving the transport problems affecting Greater Tripoli and reduces the traffic congestion within the capital, according to the company.
