Chelyabinsk gives its transport service 20 million RUR in January 2006
‘Chelyabgortrans, our transportation service, is now a very unprofitable business; the city allotted 20 million RUR to support it in January 2006, but it wasn’t even enough to cover the debts that keep building up,’ Mayor of Chelyabinsk Mikhail Yurevitch announced at today’s administration sitting.
‘The problem has to be dealt with somehow, we haven’t raised the ticket fare for 3 years while the fuel has become 2 times and electricity 60% more expensive,’ Mr Yurevitch said.
The Mayor says that selling the business to a private owner could result in leaving the remote districts without any means of public transportation, so the city keeps helping Chelyabgortrans.
‘Our entire reserve budget for the first quarter of 2006 has already been given to them,’ Mr Yurevitch said.
