The move to revise current tariffs is justified by the rise in prices of fuels and lubricants, as well as an increase in the minimum wage and the cost of spare parts for vehicles.
“Objective changes in the state’s economy, namely: increases in prices for fuels and lubricants, spare parts and an increase in the minimum wage may become a prerequisite for a re-review of current tariffs for passenger transportation services“, the message says.
