Does anyone of you ever counted how many we have in Krakow modes of public transport tickets? Please do not count, a hint: 91 No wonder that hardly anyone is able to select those which are most favorable for its portfolio. Therefore, it is time to organize the tariff.
ZIKIT presented Councillor for consultation proposed a new fare ticket transport. What would you change?
First of all we had in Krakow only 21 types of tickets, so it would be easier to find the right ticket for your needs. ZIKIT also suggested the resignation of two different allowances: statutory and municipalities on behalf of one - 50 percent. This in turn would facilitate the matter of relief to persons using, for vanished two different tickets reduced, but not everyone knows who should buy it. A single ticket disappear, replaced by the time tickets. This allows passengers who have been sufficient to change a ticket and would not have to buy new ones. Placed on the ticket would be a last resort - expensive, costing as much as 4 zł and available in vehicles. (As for example in Katowice). Why so expensive? In order to discourage passengers from buying tickets for drivers, because it causes delays. Someone will ask, is not it better to eliminate the sale. In my opinion, no. Yet there are emergencies, so it is difficult to pick up the chance to buy a ticket to a person who, for various reasons could not buy it before, and I do not want to go to the stowaways. Well
issue that arouses the greatest emotions. Changes in the prices of tickets. They rise from a few to several percent. For example, a ticket now for a 15-minute pay 1,80 zł, after the introduction of the proposed tariffs - 2 zł. In total, for a person who occasionally makes use of public transport would increase almost imperceptible. It cost more than a few per month. The people who run frequently and enjoy the season tickets would pay two - four gold more. Ticket check for all lines, which now costs 94 zł per month would cost 96 zł. It is difficult to talk about the huge increases.
Are changes prices are necessary? No miracles. Actually, the answer to that question, every driver knows that from time to time has to go to a gas station and looks with horror on the price of a liter of fuel. And I'll just add that the city council last ticket price increase enacted in 2004. Since then, the price of diesel has increased by 65 percent. And the price of traction energy by 56 percent. Tickets are not flinch. But the electoral council agreed a month's annual half-price ticket for pensioners. City budget cost is 21 million zł. Then the council did not care costs. Councillors of the term argue that the financial problems did not realize realize. Apparently, since the Civic Platform of the work on this year's budget passed an amendment which receives 700 thousand. zł to communicate precisely.
Now councilors argue that the savings should look different, and suggest putting a line of private carriers who are cheaper than the MPK. Skipping the issue of contracts, which we are bound, but I have to remind even the matter of the carrier, which won the tender for the contract service and then had to break, because ultimately he failed to satisfy the set by the city. Final was such that additional buses have not left the city to the detriment of passengers. Of course we can allow to perform transportation services for small businesses with a number of transport vehicles which will certainly cheaper than the MPK, but whether they will provide safety and comfort of the passengers? I dare to doubt. Not once have any of us to convince yourself that what is cheap in the end expensive.
Before us is the debate during the session of the Council of the City of Krakow, where - I fear - will fall a lot of populist slogans. Appease me, the rational reviews of Krakow, who spoke during the radio show. Maybe all of them summarized this way: no one likes increases, and would prefer to avoid them, but if more expensive vividness, fuel, energy, various fees is difficult to expect that the buses and trams will be półdarmo drove.
