The rise in diesel prices has increased the expenses of municipal enterprise \u201cMykolaivpastrans\u201d<\/strong>, and officials in Mykolaiv<\/strong> are considering a possible review of transport fares. Fuel prices, the carrier\u2019s finances and bus operations were discussed on November 9<\/strong> at an administrative meeting at Mykolaiv City Council<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych<\/strong> asked about the enterprise\u2019s financial results, its director, Dmytro Danilenko<\/strong>, explained how significant the difference had become between the actual price of diesel and the price factored into the fare.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, the rise in diesel prices has hit us hard. We are spending an additional 2.5 million hryvnias<\/strong> or more every month because of the difference in the cost of diesel fuel. The fare calculation uses a price of 52 hryvnias and 20 kopecks<\/strong> per liter,\u201d Dmytro Danilenko<\/strong> explained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The mayor also asked about the latest purchase price. The director said it was 90 hryvnias and 89 kopecks<\/strong> per liter.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrivate carriers have already contacted me about this situation. They all run on diesel. I asked the Department of Transport to prepare the calculations and push as far as possible for a fare change,\u201d said Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When the mayor asked whether the calculations were ready, the Department of Transport said they had been completed. A decision on the matter is planned and is currently being reviewed by the department. The issue is a possible fare review, not a fare change that has already been approved.<\/p>\n

The enterprise has also prepared a reserve of fuel for emergencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have 20 tonnes<\/strong> of diesel fuel. We have arranged with the supplier to store it in case of a blackout or other emergency,\u201d said Dmytro Danilenko<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oleksandr Sienkevych<\/strong> also asked how many buses the enterprise puts on its routes each day and how many of them are new. The director gave the following figures:<\/p>\n
