The change is based on the evolution of economic indicators, including the consumer price index, using a reference value for the calculation of a journey.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The municipal authorities specify that the increase in the tariff reflects the significant rise in operating costs, especially the price of fuels, which have almost doubled, affecting the functioning of public transportation.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last increase in public transport fares in Chisinau took place in July 2022, when the price of a trip rose from 2 to 6 lei.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fare for public transportation in Chisinau will be increased starting from May 1st.
