31.05.2022 galka.if.ua
Due to the shortage of fuel and a significant increase in its price, the Union of Transportation Companies of Ivano-Frankivsk has already appealed to the municipality with the relevant requirements. The chairman of the union Oleg Stahiv says that with the current tariff of UAH 8, motor transport companies do not have the physical resources to refuel, transport and service all other costs. They offer to increase the tariff to at least UAH 10.
«Objectively, the tariff for today should be twice as high. If today it is UAH 8, then the adequate price, which is accepted in Lviv, should be within UAH 15. Yes, we understand that now is a difficult situation, it's the war nowadays and it's all really difficult. But some routes no longer operate, for example, № 26. Most routes have a limit on the number: instead of ten, there are five buses», says Oleg Stahiv.
Vitaliy Golutyak, director of Elektroavtotrans (a municipal transport company), also says that the municipal operator's fuel costs have increased significantly: «I think we will spend UAH 1.5 million more on fuel in May than in April. I can't say the exact number now. But the fact that it will be more, because the price has risen significantly - is clear. And the question is who will cover this difference. There are two options: either passengers through the tariff (increase - ed.), or the city will cover it with the budget», - says Golutyak.
Andriy Gigliuk, head of the Transport and Communications Department, told reporters that the decision to raise the tariff is being considered, but must be approved by the city council's executive committee.

The decision was made during the executive committee today, May 27, due to rising prices and fuel shortages. At the same time, the fare in electric transport remains unchanged.
Routes that have been previously optimized and reduced due to fuel costs and shortages thereby will be able to run on a regular schedule.
«Bus traffic will resume to a greater extent. We also plan to return the routes that were abandoned - №10, №11, №44, №45, as well as №61 and №9, which had a shortened traffic scheme. We want to restore the normal operation of those routes that were optimized due to fuel problems. We will contact the operators, discuss all the details and deadlines in addition», - says the director of the Department of Urban Mobility and Street Infrastructure of the Lviv City Council Oleg Zabarylo.

Also the meeting of the Executive Committee supported the proposals to make changes to the route network of a number of bus routes. “I would like to point out to the people of Chernihiv that these are temporary routes and, of course, if we have additional opportunities, we will change the routes and increase the number of units in the transport network. I think that our situation with the restoration of the catenary will improve a little, we will have more trolleybuses. Trolleybuses are available, we only need to restore the catenary. I hope that in the summer we will mostly restore the catenary network", said Chernihiv mayor Vladyslav Atroshenko during the meeting. According to the plans, 80 public transport units will work in Chernihiv every day: 60 buses (small and large class) and 20 trolleybuses.
