The Lviv City Executive Committee approved a decision on the cost of transportation for municipal electric transport at a meeting on Friday, the press service of the Lviv City Council reports.
According to the decision, the tariff is set at UAH 101 per trolleybus kilometer and UAH 119 per car kilometer. Lvivelectrotrans will be paid for the transportation work performed from June 1 this year.
“The company will calculate the total cost of the transportation work performed: the number of kilometers traveled by electric vehicles will be multiplied by the corresponding cost per 1 km of work. From this amount will be deducted Lvivelectrotrans’ revenue from the services provided and compensation for preferential transportation,” said Oleh Zabarylo, director of the City Council’s Department of Urban Mobility and Street Infrastructure.
According to him, starting from June 2024, the city authorities will pay the difference between the cost of the transportation work performed and the company’s total revenues from the provision of services, including to privileged categories of passengers, so that the company can operate and develop.
Mr. Zabarylo also noted that there is no legal framework for paying road carriers for transportation work in Ukraine, and the relevant bills are only being developed.
Earlier, the Lviv City Council allocated UAH 136 million from the budget to pay for the transportation work of Lvivelectrotrans.
Kyiv has restored in full operation of ground electric transport after a 56-day break due to a power supply shortage as a result of Russian strikes on the energy system, the Kyiv city military administration has said.
“Today, all electric transport in the capital has returned to its routes. There are now 286 vehicles on 46 trolleybus routes and 195 vehicles on 32 tram routes,” the KGVA said in a statement on its telegram channel on Friday.
“We have overcome a severe transport crisis. The restoration of stable life in Ukraine’s capital is another small but important step towards our future Victory,” said CGVA chief Sergey Popko, who was quoted in the report.
“The effective work of the city authorities, power engineers and repair crews has practically restored the stability of Kiev’s energy infrastructure. This has allowed the city to gradually return to the resumption of urban ground electric transport,” the statement said. According to KGVA, individual tram and trolleybus lines have alternately been launched in recent days.
On December 23, 2022, because of power shortage, work of ground electric transport of capital (trams and trolley buses) has been stopped. Buses operated on the routes of ground electric transport.
In total, the capital lived without electric transport for 56 days.
