The public passenger transport increased in 2025, while the freight transport remained stagnant

The number of passengers who used public transport last year increased by over 8% compared to the previous year. According to the National Statistics Office, the increase occurred against the backdrop of expanding air and urban traffic. On the other hand, freight transport stagnated, reports IPN.

According to BNS data, in 2025, approximately 333 passengers used public transportation. The increase was particularly driven by the rise in the number of passengers transported by air, growing by over 37%, but also by the increase in road and electric traffic.

BNS specifies that the journey of passengers totaled over 7.5 billion passenger-kilometers, almost 19% more than the previous year. The largest increases were recorded in air transport and in electric transport.

In the structure of displacements, electric transport accounted for over 65% of all journeys, followed by road transport, with approximately 34%. In contrast, passenger rail transport recorded a sharp decline, of over 50% compared to 2024.

Regarding the transport of goods, the relevant companies transported approximately 20.2 million tons in 2025, a volume similar to that of the previous year. However, the movement of goods decreased by about 3%, due to reductions recorded especially in road and air transport.

Users from several countries reported connection issues with Facebook on Sunday. The number of reports rapidly increased during the morning, suggesting a possible widespread malfunction, according to the Downdetector platform, quoted by IPN.

According to reports in the international press, users are experiencing difficulties with authentication, loading the news feed, and using some features of the social network. It is not yet clear whether other services of the Meta company are also affected.

In Moldova, there are issues with browser connectivity, but access through the application is possible. Until this time, Meta company has not provided an explanation for the cause of the incident nor a timeline for its resolution. In the absence of an official confirmation, the exact extent of the disruption remains unclear.

The Downdetector platform monitors online service interruptions and centralizes user reports and other data regarding their functionality. A sudden increase in notifications usually indicates the existence of a technical problem.
