Nearly 800 employees of Bucharest Transport Company (STB) will be laid off due to a major reorganization. The layoffs include bus and trolleybus drivers, tram drivers, mechanics, cashiers, and administrative staff. Severance pay will range from 20,000 to 40,000 lei based on seniority. The restructuring aims to address STB's financial difficulties, with debts exceeding 3 billion lei and significant losses reported. Despite the layoffs, officials claim that public transport services will not be disrupted, as measures for digitalization and efficiency improvements are expected to enhance service frequency and reduce wait times.
