A last round of consultations with road transport operators about the tariffs will be held next week and a final decision will be taken after this, Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Spînu, Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development, has said, being quoted by IPN.

As to the operators’ intention to suspend the regular routes for three days, the official said that “a small group of transport operators started to blackmail a whole country. The goal is clear. They want the passengers to protest. This is ugly. I call on all the operators not to allow to be provoked by such behavior,” the Deputy Prime Minister posted on Telegram.

Andrei Spînu recommended the carriers to start to renovate their motor vehicles, to improve the quality of transportation services, to issue tickets to passengers, to maintain the buses and minibuses in a proper form so as not to subject the travelers to risks and to think about the people and their clients first of all.

Road transferor operators in Moldova will suspend the national regular routes for three days, on February 7, 8 and 9, in protest, as the Employers Association of Road Transport Operators has announced.
