The topic of discussion at the press club that took place today at the Lutsk city hall was the urgent problem of passenger transportation by minibus. Deputy mayor Leonid Kyry lchuk, head of the department for coordination of city transport operations Fedir Koretskyi, head of the public association "Volyn Passenger Transport" Oleksandr Shamis, and head of the Lutsk State Traffic Inspectorate Vitalii Bondarchuk were invited to the talks. During the discussion, those present focused on both the legislative framework and the realities. Oleksandr Shamis emphasized the need to establish tolerant Driver–Passenger relations: if the driver's work is controlled by many institutions and there are always opportunities to punish him, then incorrectness on the part of passengers, which is not uncommon, remains unpunished. The dialogue proceeded quite calmly until the issue of the behavior of State Traffic Inspectorate employees toward minibus drivers was raised. Let me remind you that the new law provides for holding drivers administratively liable for transporting "standing" passengers. The head of the Lutsk State Traffic Inspectorate, Vitalii Bondarchuk, was directly accused of the fact that his subordinates, "Sergeant Petrenkos," take bribes from minibus drivers. To which the city's chief traffic police officer replied: "Do you think they share with me?" On the whole, the press club participants agreed that "State Traffic Inspectorate employees create zones of social tension in Lutsk and, unfortunately, do not find common language with the city authorities."
