Fare increases have been temporarily postponed in Mykolaiv

In Mykolaiv, the executive committee removed draft resolutions on setting public transportation fares from the agenda. They were not published on time due to technical issues.

During the meeting, Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych reported that some of the draft resolutions had not been made public on time. He therefore proposed that they be considered at the next meeting.

According to the mayor, the executive committee must act in accordance with current legislation, so these items were removed from the agenda. Three votes were held to finalize the agenda.

The members of the executive committee unanimously supported this proposal. They will return to the issue of fare rates at the next meeting.

Oleg Kuksa, head of the Mykolaiv City Council’s Transportation Department, began his report, but the mayor interrupted him. Senkevich reminded everyone that the draft resolutions had already been removed from consideration.

A possible revision of fares was discussed as early as November 9 at a staff meeting at City Council. According to the meeting, the rise in diesel prices costs the municipal enterprise “Mykolaipastrans” over 2.5 million hryvnias per month.

According to the company’s director, Dmytro Danilenko, the fare is based on a diesel price of 52.20 hryvnias per liter. The current purchase price is 90.89 hryvnias.

Senkevych instructed officials to review the fare structure. The Transportation Administration reported that the calculations are already complete, and the decision is currently under review by the department.
