"Did nothing." The carrier was found guilty of a fight in the bus cabin in Kamensk-Uralsky.

      In Kamensk-Uralsky, the carrier is obliged to pay damages and compensation for moral harm to two passengers (who were minors at the time) as a co-defendant in a lawsuit, after a group of youths attacked them in the bus. The decision made by the courts regarding this civil lawsuit was reported by the press service of the Sverdlovsk region courts.

      The incident occurred in June 2024 in a bus on route No. 4. During the conflict, a group consisting of two girls and a young man assaulted another boy and girl, who were minors at the time. As a result, the teenagers were forced to leave the bus at a stop, not reaching their destination. A forensic medical examination assessed the injuries they sustained as not causing harm to their health.

      All three attackers were subjected to administrative penalties (community service and fines) under Article 6.1.1 of the Administrative Offenses Code of the Russian Federation (assault).

      The victims filed a civil lawsuit in the Krasnogorsk District Court of Kamensk-Uralsky not only against the offenders but also against the carrier, LLC "Express-City." The plaintiffs requested compensation of 200,000 rubles for moral harm from each offender in favor of each victim.

      From the carrier, the plaintiffs sought 23 rubles (the fare), 300,000 rubles in compensation for moral harm, and a fine of about 150,000 rubles in favor of each victim.

      They also sent a claim to the carrier for the refund of the fare and compensation for moral harm, but it went unanswered.

      The Krasnogorsk District Court awarded 300,000 rubles to the injured girl (100,000 rubles from each offender) and 200,000 rubles to the boy (100,000 rubles from the young man and one of the girls).

      From LLC "Express-City," 23 rubles (the fare) was awarded to each of the plaintiffs, along with 100,000 rubles in compensation for moral harm for violating consumer rights, and a fine of 50,011 rubles each for refusing to satisfy the claims voluntarily.

      Disagreeing with this decision, LLC "Express-City" filed an appeal. However, the judicial panel of the Sverdlovsk Regional Court upheld the district court's decision. It has entered into legal force.

      In the ruling of the judicial panel, it was stated that a passenger transport contract was concluded between the plaintiffs and the carrier, and therefore, the relationship is regulated by the Russian Federation Law "On Consumer Rights Protection." The carrier failed to ensure the safe delivery of passengers to their destination, which became the basis for the compensation for moral harm and the fine.

      As noted in court by the plaintiffs, the bus driver did not take any measures to stop the conflict: he did not stop the vehicle, did not open the doors, did not use the emergency services call system ("ERA-GLONASS"), and did not call the police.
