The minibuses should no longer run on routes in Chisinau, but they cannot be removed immediately. Prime Minister Ion Chicu said that when more buses and trolleybuses are purchased, the minibuses, which are an outdated means of transport, will disappear from the streets of the capital city.
After the February 24 meeting of senior state officials, Premier Ion Chicu, when asked by journalists about the problem of municipal public transport in Chisinau, said the City Hall should find money to buy more buses and trolleybuses. “To my mind, the era of minibuses is over,” he stated.
Ion Chicu also said that the municipality of Chisinau has a big economic and financial potential. It can attract financial resources from the development partners and can purchase units of transport for the city’s needs.
