Se scumpește călătoria cu metroul la 7 lei? Ce spune Ștefan-Ovidiu Popa, propus la Transporturi

The potential increase in metro fares from 5 to 7 lei is under discussion. Ștefan-Ovidiu Popa, proposed as Minister of Transport, supports maintaining current prices but acknowledges the need for analysis due to rising energy costs. He emphasized that no decision has been made yet and that discussions will take place with ministry representatives. Popa also mentioned the ministry's need for 7.2 billion lei for budget adjustments and outlined priorities for the upcoming winter and next year's budget. He received a favorable opinion from parliamentary committees, advocating for a financially sustainable mandate. Discussions about fare increases follow a previous postponement by Metrorex to evaluate economic impacts.
