In the Korabelnyi district of Mykolaiv<\/strong> a passenger publicly complained about the driver of the municipal bus on route No. 1<\/strong> with license plate \u0412\u04155674\u041d\u0421<\/strong>. According to her, on the evening of September 9, 2026<\/strong> at the “Zavod Okean” stop the driver began closing the doors and pulling away at the moment when elderly people were still finishing boarding. Bus route No. 1<\/strong> is operated by the municipal enterprise “Mykolaivpastrans.” It connects the “Okean” plant area with Ternivka, and from September 7, 2026<\/strong> some trips were additionally extended to the Pivnichnyi microdistrict.<\/p>\n

The post by user Nata Nata<\/strong> published<\/a> in the Facebook group “Mykolaiv Minibuses. Public Transport.” She specified the exact bus, time and location of the incident \u2013 September 9 at 18:20<\/strong>, the “Zavod Okean” stop:<\/p>\n

\n

“I demand that an official investigation be carried out concerning the driver of bus \u0412\u04155674\u041d\u0421 on route No. 1 and that the question of his removal from the route be considered. On September 9, 2026 at 18:20 at the “Zavod Okean” stop the driver obstructed the boarding of elderly people: he began closing the doors and driving away from the stop at the moment when passengers had almost completed boarding the bus. Such actions are dangerous, unprofessional and unacceptable for an employee of municipal transport. According to residents of the Korabelnyi district, complaints have been made about this driver more than once. I ask that appropriate measures be taken and an official response be provided based on the results of the appeal review,” \u2013 the user wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The appeal sparked an active discussion. Some users supported the complaints against the driver, but others drew attention to another long-standing problem of Mykolaiv’s public transport \u2014 a shortage of buses and drivers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

User Kristina Dovbush<\/strong> suggested that removing the driver may further increase the intervals between buses.<\/p>\n

\n

“They remove the driver, there will be fewer buses, then people will write in the group \u2014 what is this, large gaps between transport, impossible to get there, etc\u2026.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tetyana Pishchanska-Asaulenko<\/strong> in response suggested that critics of the drivers’ work try working on the route themselves:<\/p>\n

\n

“We invite you to work for about 10 days.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I’ve seen the same on this route,” \u2013 said Marina Soloveva.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lyudmyla Kurando attempted to explain<\/strong> another reason for the attitude toward passengers:<\/p>\n

\n

“When drivers receive a fixed salary, they will move slowly and will not care who boards. And when pay depends on the number of PAID passengers transported, this attitude will not change,” \u2013 the user wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Complaints about the operation of route No. 1<\/strong> for residents of the Korabelnyi district<\/strong> are not new. In July 2026<\/strong> passengers complained about increased evening intervals, and the municipal enterprise “Mykolaivpastrans” explained this, among other things, by technical malfunctions of buses and the need for drivers to observe work and rest schedules. At that time the enterprise noted that it continues to recruit new drivers.<\/p>\n
