I wonder where all the money goes! We are paying more and more each year but the buses are the same, eventually there would be a few new buses but they are so limited and the conditions of the old buses never changed.
During the winter, the doors are not properly sealed, heaters only work in certain compartments and some don’t even work. I remember how numb my feet are during that time.
During the summer, the new buses that they introduced actually have less seats than the old buses! How can they buy something which can perform worse than the current ones?
I just don’t see any point of paying so much, for the same service and commuting condition. They are almost static and no development at all (except few new buses) for the past few years.
Nightmare!
Great, now I’m more broke than ever.
Although this post is written for commuter chronicles but this is really what I feel now!

Here in Kursk it’s 9rb for bus, 10 rb for mashrut, and 8rb for certain bus…the newer, green color bus, increased from 7rbs (all transports, 6rb for the green bus i mentioned earlier). Huhu. Luckily getting away from here soon, can’t imagine how much price hike it’s gonna be for the juniors who still have years to go through here.
