Chernivtsi, Oleksiy Kaspruk: “the Tariff for journey in trolley buses should be socially just”
, the Executive Committee approved the tariffs for Chernivtsi trolleybus Department for the transportation of passengers in urban electric transport. "The difference between economically justified and acceptable to the consumer , socially equitable tariff must pay the company owner – community, city budget. Otherwise, the company will not be able to exist – said Alexei Kaspruk. The mayor expressed his position regarding the adoption of the new fares: "fares, economy, honesty and justice. The arithmetic is simple. There is a communal enterprise – trolleybus management, the owner of which is community, we are with you. Years that the company has not received new equipment. Not because here before us was negligent leaders who didn't want to do . And for what then were these economic realities, the rules of the game. All funds from the regions went into the pocket of the state, and from there returned a penny. That is money used to upgrade technology in the city is not enough. Years, the company lost its position in the transport market. we have trolleybuses only one third of the needs, they are all worn out, worn out. In addition, trolley transport, which has a social function – transports of beneficiaries, pupils, students. It or free or reduced fares. Now simple Economics – the less cars, the older they are, the higher the cost of travel for lower income businesses, large costs of energy, repair and maintenance of machines. Chernivtsi trolleybus management is our utility, it works transparently, all expenses and income are checked, controlled. Experts have calculated the cost of services for travel after electricity price hike, raising the minimum wage is UAH 3. Now about justice. Fair and justified this tariff for the consumer? No. Because it can cost so much travel in a battered old bus,which is to be expected for 30-40 minutes. For this service the consumer will not pay. Therefore, the owner of the company – the community, on her behalf, the Executive Committee, the city Council must make a decision. If the service enterprises do not buy for the price – the price should be such which it will buy. I think that the rate that we can offer the consumer in the bus fare is 2 UAH. In this case, to compensate from the budget to HONOR this year have almost 18,8 million UAH. This difference in rate, including benefits for students, as well as compensation for the transportation of beneficiaries. If install rate is 3 UAH. we will lose effective for the passenger. The enterprise income decreases, the amount of compensation for transportation of privileged citizens will increase and trolleybus management of the budget will need to allocate UAH 20.7 million. Therefore I propose to say that the economically justified tariff is 3 UAH. but approve for payment by consumers – 2 UAH.leave a free passage to the beneficiaries and benefits for students. To propose to the city Council to provide trolley management funds for the difference in fees, compensation for the transportation of beneficiaries and updating of trolleybus Park. A trolley Park, you need to update, without it the situation in the transport market will not change. And it doesn't matter or it will be the loan, or solely for our own resources. This needs to be done to keep in Chernivtsi environmentally friendly, social electrotransport". According to the decision of the Executive Committee, one trip in the bus will cost 2 hryvnias. The fare for students of day form of education of higher educational institutions of I-IV accreditation levels and students of vocational educational establishments regardless of forms of ownership, for schools established in the amount of 1 UAH. for the trip. The cost of a monthly ticket in public transport – 120 UAH New tariffs for journey in electric vehicles will come into effect from April 1 this year. This was reported in the Chernivtsi city CouncilÏåðåâåäåíî ñåðâèñîì "ßíäåêñ.Ïåðåâîä÷èê": translate.yandex.ru.
