The Bucharest Transport Company (STB) is set for further layoffs in early 2027, as announced by judicial administrator Remus Borza. This restructuring phase follows an initial round of job cuts and aims to reduce the workforce to around 7,000 employees over three years. Borza highlighted that the current staffing levels are excessive, with salaries consuming a significant portion of the company's revenue. Criteria for layoffs include disciplinary issues, pension accumulation with salary, and misuse of medical leave. The company is also conducting interviews for new drivers and conductors to replace those with disciplinary problems. The mayor of Bucharest supports the ongoing restructuring and emphasizes that insolvency is crucial for STB's survival.
