14 lei/călătoria cu metroul în București. Prețul avansat de sindicate în absența subvenției

The real cost of a metro trip in Bucharest is approximately 14 lei, while the subsidized fare is 5 lei, according to the USLM president. The proposed fare increase to 7 lei was canceled by the interim Transport Minister, despite the need for additional funds for Metrorex. The government has been unable to provide the necessary subsidies, leading to discussions about fare adjustments. European cities often subsidize public transport costs, highlighting a common practice. The USLM argues that the fare increase was essential for maintaining cash flow, not for employee salaries.
