Public transport fares in Bucharest may increase by 67%, with tickets potentially rising from 3 to 5 lei. The STB is also considering layoffs affecting nearly 800 employees as part of a financial restructuring plan due to significant debts. Additionally, free transport for some pensioners could be limited based on income levels. The proposed fare hike and job cuts are pending approval from local authorities, and previous similar proposals have been rejected. Experts suggest exploring alternative cost-cutting measures before implementing fare increases.
