Bus fare increases speculated in Yakutsk

Increased chatter about escalating bus fares in Yakutsk

In recent days, there has been a flurry of misinformation circulating on social media platforms about changes in public transport in Yakutsk. However, the City Administration has clarified that there are no plans for a bus fare increase.

Starting from April 1, the cost of a 40-ride pass for public transport in Yakutsk has increased, but the cost of cash fare remains at 52 rubles. For Yakutia resident cards and "Companion" cards, the fare is 38 rubles. Card payment for public transport is priced at 46 rubles.

Contrary to some rumours, the cost of a 60-ride pass has also increased, but this does not indicate a broader trend of increasing bus fares. The city's road and transport service has confirmed that the rumoured bus fare increase to 55 rubles from September 1 is not valid.

On a positive note, it was reported that 50 new buses will be added to Yakutsk's city routes this year. The search results do not contain information about when the new buses were delivered or where these buses are currently located.

Additionally, the city's Administration has announced that 10 new heated bus stops will be installed in Yakutsk this year. This development is expected to improve the comfort of passengers during the city's cold winters.

In conclusion, while there may be changes in public transport prices and additions to the fleet, the city's Administration has assured residents that there are no plans for a bus fare increase. It is always important to verify information before sharing it to avoid spreading misinformation.
