In Rostov proposed to increase the fine for carriers for violations

Vice-President of MAP “GET” Alexander Morozov took the initiative to increase the fine for violations for transport companies, reports the portal DonDay.

In October, the Arbitration Court of the Rostov region registered 10 lawsuits filed by the transport department against carriers. Deptrans plans to collect fines for millions of rubles for non-compliance with the terms of the municipal contract. However, as practice shows, even fines collected do not improve the quality of public transport. Passengers continue to complain about the lack of buses, their sanitary condition and non-compliance with the schedule.

To increase the liability of carriers and encourage compliance with the terms of contracts, it was proposed to increase the fine.

“It is necessary to establish a higher fine, since the current amount of one thousand rubles per violation does not have the desired effect. It is also necessary to give the regions the right to independently determine the amount of the fine and conclude contracts in accordance with these rules, said Alexander Morozov.

Transport companies will analyze the potential risks and determine whether to participate in competitions based on the new fine. It is unclear whether local and regional authorities will heed the expert's recommendations.
