The mayor of Bishkek, Aybek Junushaliev, does not rule out the possibility of increasing fares for public transport. This decision, as he noted, may be related to the need to raise drivers' salaries and maintain the technical condition of the transport.

According to him, a final decision on the increase has not yet been made, and this issue is still under discussion. "We are forced to go for this, even if some may not like it. The proposal to revise the fares has been relevant for a long time, and I have asked to further work on this issue. We need to switch to cashless payments, which will help make the rules of transport usage more adhered to, reduce driver distractions, and enhance passenger discipline," he added.

Additionally, he noted that a possible increase in fares was discussed in the case of cash payments.

According to the mayor, the city currently lacks about 400 drivers, and revising fares may be necessary to raise their salaries. "Buses should serve for at least ten years, and for that, regular maintenance is needed," he emphasized.
