"We already have the service KK5000, Kilamba, which ends in the city center, Mutamba, at a cost of 800 kwanzas. Regarding the boarding points for the KK5000, our point is near the Morro do Moco school; at Kilamba, we we are on the main roads which are the first, second and third stops", informed TCUL's commercial director, Bernarda Domingos, quoted by Rádio Nacional de Angola (RNA).
In terms of timetables, the director said that they are operating to Kilamba from 5:30 am, with the next one leaving at 6:00 am and, from then on, circulation will take place with an interval of one and a half hours between buses.
"We are operating to Kilamba from 5:30 am, (...) then a car that leaves at 6:00 am, in this initial phase, we will have buses with an interval of one and a half hours, that is, from Kilamba to city center every hour and a half and successively", said Bernarda Domingos.
However, the news doesn't stop there: starting this Thursday, services will be implemented in other centralities in Luanda and Bengo, namely Kapari (in the province of Bengo), Zango 8000, Sequele and kilometer 44.
"In fact, we will start on Thursday for all centralities, we are talking about the five centralities, that is KK5000, Kilamba, which we have already been operating, the Sequele centrality, Zango 8000, kilometer 44 and Kapari. Conditions are being created in order for us to establish, not only at our commercial post here in Mutamba, but also with the administrations assigned to these centralities", she stated, quoted by RNA.
The initiative was welcomed by citizens who highlighted gains with this new route. This is the case of Laura Araújo, who lives in KK5000, who said it was "an added value because she has already seen the comfort and dynamism of the work".
"The advantage is that it is a direct service, without stops (...), it does not stop to transport more personnel, it is a direct route (...)", said the resident, speaking to RNA.
