The minibus fare will remain unchanged for the time being. Only three of the 19 carriers asked increasing it from 3 to almost 7 lei, Mayor of Chisinau Dorin Chirtoaca said Monday, quoted by Info-Prim Neo. The mayor announced that the issue will be discussed only if more relevant requests are made. Until making decisions, there should be examined the conditions in which the drivers work and if they obey the regulations. “I anticipate that the other carriers will also make approaches. If so, we will discuss this subject within the City Hall’s Transport Division and the commissions of the Municipal Council. We do not have much data yet,” stated the mayor. Last week, a number of minibus route administrators and drivers said they will stop work and will go on strike because they sustain losses following the rise in fuel prices, but the fares have not been increased.
