Marian Artimon, președintele USLM: Costul real al călătoriei la metrou e undeva spre 14 lei, fără compensația acordată Metrorex - Economica.net

The real cost of a metro trip is approximately 14 lei, while the compensation from Metrorex reduces the fare to 5 lei, with subscription prices at 2.3 lei. Union leader Marian Artimon highlighted that a proposed fare increase to 7 lei was canceled, which would not have allowed for salary increases for Metrorex employees. He emphasized that the fare hike was necessary to ensure cash flow for the company, as the state was not providing the required subsidies. The interim Minister of Transport recently annulled the fare increase decision, which was initially set to take effect in January 2026. The union had previously indicated that the government agreed to raise fares due to insufficient compensation from the Ministry of Finance.
