After the completion of logistical procedures, these new lines will be operational gradually, said the same source, noting that the drivers of these buses are staff of the Ministry of Education and among the inhabitants of the regions concerned by this service. The receipt of these buses is part of the project to acquire means of transport for schools funded under an agreement between Tunisia and Italy.
