– The Department of Passenger Transport and Highways states that the changes were introduced due to the fact that cases of counterfeiting of Kaspi QR checks and the presentation of fake receipts to bus conductors occur every day. According to the norms of current legislation, the form and procedure for payment for work performed (service provided) are determined by agreement of consumers, who must have the right to choose. The requirements of the Business Code prohibit actions of local executive bodies that lead to the establishment of bans or the introduction of restrictions on the free movement of goods (work, services). However, despite the above legislative requirements, the local executive body intends to introduce restrictions on the method of payment for travel for children, without taking into account the opinion of the population, which leads to infringement of rights, the department said.
Currently, the Antimonopoly Authority has issued a warning about the inadmissibility of committing actions that could lead to a violation of antimonopoly legislation.
Let us remind you that from December 1, Mangistau children will not be able to pay for bus fares using Kaspi QR.
