Remus Borza, the judicial administrator of STB, proposes increasing the fare for a 90-minute trip from 3 to 5 lei, citing economic realities. He argues that the new price aligns with the high GDP of the capital and compares it to fares in other cities. Ciprian Ciucu supports the fare increase only if STB presents a credible restructuring plan. Borza justifies the fare hike by rising costs in energy, fuel, inflation, and salaries, emphasizing that the current fare is unsustainable. He also highlights the financial capability of wealthier pensioners to afford public transport. The decision on fare adjustments will depend on official documents and a study on fare affordability.
