In Old Oskol can raise the cost of travel in buses

The authorities of the Staro-Oskol district commented on information about a possible increase in the cost of travel in public transport. According to information in the network, the price of the trip can rise to 45 rubles, regardless of the method of payment.

The head of administration Mikhail Lobaznov said that the initiative to adjust tariffs comes from the transport company. Now the issue is dealt with by specialized specialists.

Among the main reasons for the rise in price are the increase in prices for fuel and spare parts, an increase in the cost of servicing rolling stock, and the indexation of drivers' wages. An important factor was that the tariffs have not changed since 2023.

“As soon as the decision is made and agreed, residents will be officially informed about the new tariffs and the deadline for their entry into force,” added Mikhail Lobaznov.
