Residents of Kyiv intend to seek the restoration of the subway's operation, as its halt contradicts the law. Moscow is cited as an example, where the metro continued to function even during the period when the enemy was located several kilometers from the capital.
Also, the day before, at an off-site meeting, the transport commission of Kyiv issued a demand to the head of the Kyiv City State Administration, Vladimir Makeenko, to resume the movement of metro trains. This information was made public by Kyiv City Council deputy Alexei Davidenko.
Vladimir Makeenko's order for free passenger travel is not being implemented, and the cost of travel on public transport, on the contrary, has increased. Conductors and drivers charge passengers, citing instructions from their superiors. On certain routes, the fare has doubled.
The cost of travel in minibuses has also increased—two to three times—while they try to bypass the central areas of the city. Separately, there is the issue of taxi services: most drivers have refused to go on shift, and those who continue to work do not take orders to the center of Kyiv. Some taxi services have increased their rates fivefold.
