Today there are grounds to note significant improvements in the work of the Lutsk Electric Transport Enterprise, believes the enterprise's director Ivan Kubitskyi. Thus, for the first time in the past few years, the trolleybus administration has gotten rid of its debt for consumed electricity. Wage arrears are also shrinking dynamically: over three months it has decreased from 7 to 2 months of arrears. The number of trolleybuses on routes has been increased by 10 units in the first and second shifts. There is a reserve to increase their number by another 5. However, there is still a problem with the insufficient number of drivers. Problems with wage arrears provoked staff turnover. Trolleybus drivers' wages amount to 400 to 600 hryvnias in hand. According to the enterprise's director Ivan Kubitskyi, another positive is that since September, thanks to the restoration of conductors, revenue from fare collection has grown by a third (100 thousand hryvnias). The enterprise's current head does not consider competition with minibuses to be a problem hindering the operation of the trolleybus fleet. However, he insists on the need for equal conditions for passenger carriers - designated stops for boarding.
Reference: today the fleet of the Lutsk Electric Transport Enterprise numbers 84 trolleybuses, which serve passengers on 12 routes.
