The former mayor of Yekaterinburg named the main reason for the increase in public transport fares.

      One of the key reasons for the increase in public transportation fares has been the rise in the cost of new buses. This was reported by the former mayor of Yekaterinburg and deputy chairman of the Federation Council committee on regional policy, Alexander Vysokinsky, to the "Parliamentary Newspaper."

      He drew an analogy with the preferential mortgage market, noting that bus prices have risen in a similar scenario—just as rapidly as the cost of apartments in new buildings purchased through government programs.

      Moreover, Vysokinsky emphasized that regions with significantly differing fares for transportation purchase vehicles at the same prices. In this regard, he proposed introducing uniform recommended minimum fares for all subjects of the country.

      The actual cost of a single trip on public transport in Yekaterinburg has been named.
