A new low‑floor tram, the 71‑415M, developed at the Uraltransmash plant, has taken to the streets of Yekaterinburg. The vehicle has been certified and has begun trial runs in urban conditions. The tram is now carrying passengers on route 9. After completion of operational tests, the model is planned to enter serial production. Special attention was paid to comfort and the atmosphere inside the cabin when designing the tram. The car is fitted with adjustable lighting: in the morning it can be invigorating — in pink or red tones — and in the evening calming, with a soft green or blue tint. "71‑415M is an updated version of the 71‑415 model, designed to carry up to 165 passengers. It uses a new pivoting bogie, similar to those installed on the 'Dostoevsky' and 'Dovlatov' trams, which have been operating successfully in St. Petersburg for more than two years. I am confident that Yekaterinburg residents will appreciate our tram — especially in the evening, when the lighting comes on and creates a special mood," said Dmitry Bunkov, chief designer of civil products at Uraltransmash. The design of the new tram car has been created with modern trends and the wishes of both passengers and transport professionals in mind. The body can be painted in any colors at the customer's request.

      The first city in Sverdlovsk Oblast to abandon the tourist tax was Asbest. This was stated at a meeting of the board of the Ural Association of Tourism by the acting deputy governor — Minister of Investment and Development of Sverdlovsk Oblast, Dmitry Ionin.

      “There are municipalities that received 29 thousand rubles. Asbest earned 370 thousand from tourists and abandoned this practice,” the publication KP‑Ekaterinburg quotes Ionin as saying.

      According to him, municipalities should not rush into such decisions. The minister also clarified that in November he will address the tourist tax issue with other municipalities. It will be necessary to determine where it makes sense to introduce the tax and where it is better to forgo it.

      Recall that the introduction of the tourist tax in Sverdlovsk Oblast was approved in November 2024. It came into effect on January 1, 2025. The tax is paid by establishments where tourists stay overnight. In the first year after its introduction the tourist tax amounted to 1% of the booking sum or 100 rubles per night.
