I. Metshin considers raising of fares at public transport to 28 rubles unacceptable
(Kazan City KZN.RU, March 2, Ekaterina Andreeva). City authorities do not support the increase in the cost of travel in the passenger public transport to 28 rubles. This was announced today during the program "Theme" on TV "Efir" by the Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin.
Question of increase of fares was one of the discussions not only on today's evening program, but also in most of the media and social networks. The premise was carriers’ collective appeal addressed to the Mayor of Kazan, the Minister of Transport and Roads of the Republic of Tatarstan and Chairman of RT Tariff Committee. Carriers are demanding higher fares in public transport up to 28 rubles. The emphasis on growth transporters do at the cost of parts and fuel, for which losses of enterprises are rising. The letter also notes that the rates have not changed since February 2014, and preferential categories of citizens travel for five years at the same prices.
Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin noted that the decision to increase tariffs can be only accepted by the RT State Committee on tariffs. "But now I can say that we cannot agree to such an increase, because it is ahead of inflation", - said the head of the city. He also added that on 3 March in the Executive Committee of Kazan a working meeting on the issue of tariff increases involving all stakeholders will be held. "Tomorrow we will meet, listen to all the arguments", - I. Metshin said.
The Mayor said that in Kazan a major reform of the transport was conducted, when "Gazelle" and “PAZ” were replaced by clean large buses. But the park also needs to be updated periodically. "We want the quality service for our people. We want more people to use public transport, so it should be not only safe, high-quality, but also affordable,"- the Mayor said.
Ilsur Metshin noted the importance and complexity of the upcoming conversation with carriers. "We will report back to the citizens with what decision we will go to the Committee on tariffs", - the head of the city said.
