The press club meeting was attended by: deputy city mayor Petro Hotsaliuk, head of the department for coordination of city passenger transport Oleksandr Sereda, deputy head of the territorial division of Holovavtotransinspektsiia Kostiantyn Patrykieiev, carriers, and traffic police officers. The problem of movement and stops of route taxis has been brewing for a long time. The over-saturation of the city's central streets with the flow of motor vehicles and the spontaneous stops of route taxis create emergency situations on the roads. Today, 500 carriers operate in the transportation market of Lutsk, owning 580 vehicles. Added to them are suburban route taxis that travel along city routes and most often stop at the point of concentration of passenger flow – near the department store. Suburban route taxis have neither a movement schedule nor route schemes through the city, so they do not run according to schedule, but mainly during peak hours. Passengers complain about the low quality of carriers' services, while the latter, in turn, complain about the low culture of passengers — cut seats and damaged vehicle interiors. Route taxis have problems with dropping off passengers, because in those places there are private taxi parking areas on the roadway. In order to normalize traffic movement, the city authorities propose to paint markings for permitted stops on central highways and to post road signs. This will not create any inconvenience for passengers, since optimal stop locations will be chosen. In addition, the schedules and route schemes of suburban route taxis will be regulated, and for city routes an interval of movement will be determined. And passengers should also respond to the innovations – not to stop route taxis anywhere. After all, road safety depends on this, and therefore the lives and health of Lutsk residents.
Lutsk minibuses will soon stop only at designated places
