      Unable to find a contractor for four bus routes in Yekaterinburg

      January 15, 2026

      In Yekaterinburg, officials were unable to find a carrier company for four bus routes, agency EAN reports, citing the State Procurement website.

      Authorities failed to find a carrier for buses No. 45 (Railway Station — Oncology Research Center), 63 (Mega Shopping Center — Lesnoye Cemetery), 79 (Botanicheskaya Metro — Docker Shopping Center) and 86 (Roshchinskaya — Vishnevaya). These routes were previously served by Dekar-Bus.

      The tender was posted on December 29. A gross contract was planned for the period from the beginning of February to October 2026, worth 293.4 million rubles.

      "The supplier selection has been completed; by the end of the application submission period no applications had been submitted," the State Procurement website says.

      The transfer of carriers to gross contracts is part of a transport reform currently being implemented by the Yekaterinburg administration. Under the new rules, transport companies are paid not for the number of passengers carried but for the number of kilometers traveled, EAN reports.

      Recall that the carrier Dekar-Bus had attracted numerous questions from the authorities and complaints from residents about its drivers' conduct. They were accused of failing to adhere to the schedule and of aggressive behavior behind the wheel. Nevertheless, the carrier continues to operate in the Yekaterinburg market.
