The wrong decisions of the city authorities have also caused great damage to the distribution of passenger flow among different types of transport. Izabella Abgaryan, a member of the “National Progress” faction, wrote about this on her Facebook page.
“We have half-empty trolleybuses, a decrease in the number of metro users (only 3 from our family use them regularly), but instead the number of people on buses has increased.
And this is logical and should have been predictable. Why did people use the trolleybus?
Because it was cheaper. If there is no price difference, they don’t use it. After all, boycotting is more convenient on the bus.
The metro, which has a problem with increasing passenger flow, also suffered. Due to the impossibility of boycotting, people switched to buses.
For years, I myself tried at all costs, by my own example, to popularize the trolleybus so that it would not be perceived as a means of transport only for the elderly. Why was I doing this?
To facilitate the unloading of overloaded buses.
The distribution of passenger traffic, especially in a city like ours with a shortage of rolling stock, also requires knowledge and the right decisions.
In this matter, too, before our eyes, a behavior of service users that is not useful for the city is being formed."
