/ world today news/ These days, the transport committee of the Metropolitan Municipal Council gave the green light to raise the price of the ticket to BGN 1.60.
According to the deputy mayor for transport, Lyubomir Hristov, it was not the price of the ticket that was the leading factor in the new tariff policy, but the new cards. More importantly, they were introducing new cards – and quite a bit more expensive ones at that. But for the Bulgarian presenter, it was not the price to impress. And right, our buses are clean and well-maintained, the windows are washed, the floor is swept, the seats are cleaned – like in the West, why not raise the price of the service?
Also, after 19.30 most lines are already 30-40 minutes away, like intercity transport, which is crazy for a capital where many people work late. That is, there is nothing adequate against the high price, and accordingly it is not justified by anything.
Only BGN 70,000-80,000 have been collected in the last year and a half from fines, city transport complains. Well, if the Roma travel for free and no one bothers to fine them, and 60,000 fines are collected, it will still be a lot. The good passengers cannot pay for the bad ones. And if the fine for freebies is raised from BGN 100 to BGN 200, as proposed, the income from freebies will drop completely, simply because incomes are low and people don’t have money en masse. Rather, the brawls and the escape of trapped freedmen will escalate.
GERB municipal councilor Zafir Zarkov goes even further in the insane series. According to him, if the price of the ticket for public transport becomes BGN 1.20, and not BGN 1.60, as proposed by the Center for Urban Mobility, then the Metropolitan Municipality will have to cover the difference of 40 cents. it was necessary to close some kindergarten or stop some construction!” The budget was one and we had to get money from somewhere and make up the financial differences. In fact, isn’t it better to close the factory of lies and theft?
I immediately give an idea. Instead of building kindergartens for BGN 10 million each, in which the real cost of repairs is no more than BGN 100 thousand, this money should be directed to public transport. And both to cover the deficits, and to invest in maintenance and cleanliness. Let us remind you – at the end of 2015, it became clear that the repairs in front of the NDK will reach a whopping BGN 17 million. Nearly BGN 12 million of European money was spent on cosmetic repairs to the fountains, lighting, replacement of individual broken plates, irrigation system and tree planting. Healthy trees were cut and young saplings planted to simulate activity. And all this for nearly 12 million. With such an amount, the mayor of the village of Chavdar renovated an entire village, turning it into a Swiss one. Well, instead of scaring by closing kindergartens, stop stealing on such a large scale, gentlemen of the municipality! And there will be for public transport as well.
And we always compare ourselves to the Europeans – in England, for example, the ticket is 2 pounds and the fine is 80 pounds (200 BGN), but the minimum income, on which only 4% of the people are, is 16 BGN per hour, at 2, BGN 50 per hour in our country. That is, relative to the income, the price of the ticket in our country should be 80 cents. According to this criterion – comparing income to the price of the ticket, compared to other EU members, the ticket in our country will be among the most expensive. Never mind that we are the country with the lowest incomes and the poorest population – that is conveniently missed. That is why we are the poorest – because the prices of goods and services are always equal to the European ones, and our incomes are equal to those of a South African republic. The only thing that is permanently growing is the number of millionaires, including those in power.
