Marshrutchiki: We asked seven, to get five .

  Travel to the capital shuttles go up



Specifically, to increase the rate of travel in the metropolitan routes of minibuses director spoke in February 2012. Then, several companies have presented calculations justifying the price increase for travel in urban buses.



Now negotiators took time out before the end of religious holidays. But after April 24 they will continue and probably will continue to a victorious end for the vans.



Negotiations are various degrees of intensity since last summer, but now, it seems, for the owners of vans, they will be successful. As Michael said Reus, director of the cooperative transport Dac-trans-service, service Chisinau microbus routes, some councilors have agreed to raise the fare for travel in the capital shuttles to 5 lei.



General Mayor of Chisinau Dorin Chirtoaca also suggested not to raise tariffs above five lei. However, according to news agency Info-Prim Neo, 14 metropolitan routes administrators agreed on the tariff of 4 lei.



- According to the calculations of our company - said Mihai Reus, - the cost per passenger up to 6.89 lei. Meet the proposed tariff pyatileevy we can only work through the unnormalized drivers and cruel exploitation own minibuses. Minibuses run for wear, the cars are not mandatory for passenger transport service (TS-1, TS-2 and TO-3), and begin to repair when something is seriously on the bus breaks down, or at least "zastuchit."



To revise the tariff the owners of minibuses are pushing for several reasons. The first - rising in price fuel. The second - the cost of living. And the third - the need to update the rolling stock, which is caused by legal requirements that limit the life of the urban passenger transport 15 years.



Director of Transport Cooperative Auto-Rapid Nikolai middle peasant explained that the low rates make it impossible to upgrade the rolling stock. According to him, the years 2009-2010 were very favorable to the urban transport microbus. Travel fare when raised to 3 lei, while diesel prices have fallen, which runs all metropolitan taxis. "We were able to almost completely upgrade the rolling stock", - says Nikolay middle peasant. This update has brought some dividends - a relatively new bus caught in Moldova after 3-6 years of operation, less broke than their older "colleagues" are not idle in the repair Service Department. Therefore, the cost of travel, by reducing the losses caused by repair of machinery, significantly decreased.



But the increasing cost of travel in the capital have shuttles and reverse directions. The first - an outflow of potential passengers. Now the passenger transport costs, which enjoys a daily minibus, getting to and from work, will increase by 40%. In concrete figures, this increase is as follows: the rate of 3 Leu potential passengers spent monthly on the way to 132 lei. After the "tariff reform" of its monthly transport costs reached 220 million lei. That is, for the year to travel in the minibus he will now spend $ 100 more.



Some of the passengers on the trolley goes, the more so with the advent of new low-floor ACSM-321 vans came from a strong competitor. In addition, over the next five years will be almost completely upgrade the entire rolling stock of Chisinau trolley parks.



While the cost of travel in vans stored at 3 lei, and trolley buses pay 2 lei, competition from electric felt not so keenly. But when traveling in a minibus in comparison with the trolley will increase by 2.5 times, many will choose willy-nilly trolley. Especially those passengers who live near the trolley stop.



But it's estimations and projections. So far one thing is clear - the cost of travel to the capital increase vans. Most likely, the City Council will stop for 5 lei. Although the calculation of routes managers argue that the optimal rate is at 7 lei, it is unlikely that councilors approve the hand of a rise rate. In social terms, is too painful measure - to raise prices for travel in the van for more than two times.



Now the question is - when the fare increase. Possible answers may vary, depending on the decision of the municipal councilors. For owners of routes than previously promoted, the better, and the optimum period - July and August of this year. It's vacation time, the heads of the majority of potential passengers minibuses busy holiday problems, and increase the tariff will be felt not so painful.
