Alfir Bakirov, business ombudsman of the Yaroslavl region, sent a letter to the regional Duma, in which he stated his position on the upcoming transport reform.
We will remind, the mayor’s office of Yaroslavl decided not to renew the contract for transportation with the owners of minibuses. And remove 26 routes from the urban transport grid.
Alfir Bakirov reasonably notes that these reforms will hurt the small business of the region. 303 drivers will lose their jobs. plus a conductor. Entrepreneurs will go bankrupt and stop paying taxes. In addition, the decision not to conduct tender procedures for transportation contradicts the legislation on supporting entrepreneurship. And the reshaping of transport schemes will heat up the already tense social situation.
