In Kislovodsk, travel in public transport will rise in price

The administration of the resort city of Kislovodsk received a notification from legal entities and individual entrepreneurs serving municipal passenger routes about raising the fare from 35 to 40 rubles. The increase is justified by changes in tax legislation, rising prices for fuel, spare parts, insurance and wages. The planned date is October 15, 2026.

The head of Kislovodsk, Yevgeny Moiseev, said that the city has for many years kept one of the lowest prices for travel in the Caucasian Mineral Waters. According to him, today carriers found themselves in a situation where it is simply impossible to work at the old tariff: fuel, spare parts, insurance, salaries - everything has risen in price. He noted that these are objective factors that affect the cost of transportation.

Moiseev stressed that, despite the increase in prices to 40 rubles, Kislovodsk will remain with one of the lowest tariffs in the Caucasian Mineral Waters. For privileged categories of citizens, all benefits are retained.

According to him, even after the increase, the city will remain one of the most affordable: in Pyatigorsk, travel costs 45-50 rubles, in Mineralnye Vody - 45, in Essentuki - 40 with the prospect of growth to 45. The head of the city expressed hope that the increase in prices will allow carriers to improve service on routes, so that travel remains comfortable and safe for residents and guests of the resort.

Earlier it was reported that the Governor of Stavropol took part in the meeting of the State Council on transport.
