Bucharest Transport Company (STB) plans further layoffs in early 2027, targeting management positions to reduce staff to around 7,000. The restructuring process, initiated this autumn, aims to streamline operations and address financial losses. The company has already cut 44 management roles and plans additional reductions in January and February. STB's current workforce is deemed oversized, with high salary costs contributing to significant losses. The administrator highlighted issues like misuse of medical leave and disciplinary problems among employees as reasons for layoffs. Concurrently, STB is recruiting new drivers and conductors to rejuvenate its workforce. The mayor supports the restructuring as essential to avoid bankruptcy.
