Svetlograd residents complain about lack of transport

Residents of the Dolgoe microdistrict of the city of Svetlograd demanded intervention in a critical situation related to the lack of public transport connecting the microdistrict with socially significant facilities.

"Residents of the city of Svetlograd, Dolgoe microdistrict, are contacting you. We ask you to resolve the issue with transport, which has not been running for two months. Many children who go to preschool institutions, many secondary school students live in our district. We have many large families and relatives of SVO participants," residents say in a video message published by the Bloknot Stavropol publication.
"There are a lot of pensioners in our area, there are people with limited mobility. People can't get to work. All urgent trips are resolved by calling a taxi. We have contacted the administration more than once. The administration replies: "we are solving your problem." But the third month has passed, and there is no progress," a resident of the microdistrict complains.

"There was only one route, it was cancelled. We have no transport to quickly get to vital points. Elementary: to the store, to work, to school. The second school is under repair - they transferred to the third school, to the third shift. There is nothing to get to school or from school. There are no flights. How can we solve this issue?", - another resident is indignant in the video.

"I have two children, I don't take taxis with children. The car arrived - I didn't even open the door: "You have two children, I don't have that many car seats. "Go on whatever you want." My child is a dancer. I couldn't take my child to a performance," another resident shared.

"Our children can't go to any clubs or rides: only route 14 runs, three trips: it arrives full, we're in it like sardines. Why can't we go to visit our relatives or friends on the weekend? We're like slaves: they bring us from work, they take us to work. The area is located on the outskirts of the city, at least 5-6 kilometers to the center. To get to a store or a pharmacy, people have to drive: we don't have any stores or pharmacies. It was September 1st, a small bus arrived, we didn't fit - we had to walk to school. Taxis don't want to go such a long way. What should we do? Lie down to die or block the Federal Road so that we can be heard? It's just a cry from the heart," the resident said in a video message.

"Vladimir "Vladimirovich, please help us with the bus!" - everyone gathered on the video shouts.

The commenters under the video message post in Telegram - the channel "CARING CITIZEN Svetlograd", which by September 9 had garnered 971 views and 11 comments, supported the residents:

"In general, there is complete chaos everywhere. There is a problem with the water utility, there is a problem with the improvement, schools and kindergartens are with an outstretched hand all the way, the power grid is a problem... the meter burned out in the spring, they said they would change it by the New Year and that's not for sure..., there is a problem in the hospital... no comment at all... And this is the 21st century and this is called "civilization", - Irina Chernyakina was indignant.

"It is not for nothing that local administrations are obliged to create conditions for the provision of transport services to the population and the organization of transport services for the population!!!!", - Anastasia asked a rhetorical question S.

"Addressing problems to the governor is the same as addressing a pole," wrote user Nikolaevich.

"Transportation should be provided, not bananas grown," quipped Elena.

Also, the VKontakte subscribers of "Alexey Kurochkin" did not remain indifferent to the appeal of the residents of the Dolgoe microdistrict. The post on the channel has garnered 2,000 views and 10 comments:

"There is no transport at all on weekends, it's awful," shared Irina Podoprigora.

"Where are the district education buses? They transport school principals!", was indignant Petr Nikolaevich.

"We need trolleybuses," summed up Fedor Tkachenko.
