The private carrier from Yekaterinburg, involved in the tragedy with 4 fatalities, may exit the market.
After yesterday's accident that resulted in the deaths of four pedestrians, the transportation company "Avto-nom" may leave the Yekaterinburg market. This was stated on Thursday by the head of the Ural capital, Alexey Orlov, as reported by the EAN agency.
At a meeting with carriers, which is being held today by Vice Mayor Alexander Tolkachev, who oversees the city's public transport, the issue of replacing "Avto-nom" on the routes it serves will be discussed, EAN reports.
"We must be prepared for the possibility that this carrier will completely leave the line, and we need to transport people," said Alexey Orlov.
The company "Avto-nom" operates five bus routes: No. 41, 53, 68, 80, 81. Its director has been detained by investigators along with a foreign driver following yesterday's tragedy.
It is not possible to completely replace private carriers on the "Gortrans" lines (such a suggestion was made immediately after the accident by one of the influential anonymous Telegram channels), as this is a competitive market under federal law, said Alexey Orlov.
The mayor acknowledged that the influence of the Yekaterinburg administration on private carriers, including their personnel policies, is limited.
"We will see what can be done to prevent similar tragedies in the future," the mayor promised.
