Krasnodar residents complained about the problem with public transport

Residents of the Krasnodar village "Pribrezhnoye" complained that it is difficult for them to get to the city by public transport: the buses are overcrowded, and one of the routes, according to them, does not stop. Other Krasnodar residents, commenting on their complaint in Telegram, criticized the officials and pointed out that residents of dacha settlements also pay taxes.

Residents of the dacha settlement "Pribrezhnoye" in the Karasun district of Krasnodar complained that on the morning of September 2, they could not leave for work, and schoolchildren waited for transport for an hour and a half. According to them, route No. 141 was overcrowded, and bus No. 103 did not stop.

"On September 2, we faced a problem: we could not leave for work, students stood for 1.5 hours to get to school, all transport is overcrowded, route 141 is packed, 103 does not stop at all, how to get to the city? It turns out we are cut off from the world? We hope that someone will pay attention to us," the residents' appeal stated, which was published on September 5 by the Telegram channel "Tupodar Krasnodar."

A video with the appeal was published on September 5 by the Telegram channel "Tupodar Krasnodar", which has about 56.7 thousand subscribers.

As of 06:55 MSK on September 6, this post in the Telegram channel "Tupodar Krasnodar," which has about 56.7 thousand subscribers, received 35 user reactions and 66 comments.

Some commentators supported the residents' demand to improve public transport. "In fact, people are not asking for anything supernatural. It's not even about year-round living; the same pensioners will have a hard time walking 30 minutes to the nearest stop with their seedlings during the dacha season. There should be transport," wrote Zhanna.

"I agree, the eyes have seen what they took, but it's strange that we are not considering development and improvement of life, but consider an ordinary bus something supernatural for a dacha," said Alla.

Other commentators criticized the officials. "SNT, dachas – these are enclaves within the city, where roads, networks, and land for common use are collectively owned. And despite paying taxes like everyone else, they have to repair and maintain this 'collective' property at their own expense," wrote Vadim Kolosov.

The debate also touched on taxes and the status of dacha territories. "Have you thought that people who live in dachas also pay taxes: personal income tax, land tax, property tax, transport tax, and why are they worse than others that they are not entitled to basic human goods?" - Alla wrote in another comment.

"You wrote as if there is excellent public transport in the stanitsa or in Krasnodar. The question always arises: if these are not populated areas, then why does the Ministry of Internal Affairs register people there?" – wrote the administrator of The Chat of Kind People and Adequates.

As of 06:55 MSK on September 6, there are no comments on the website of the Krasnodar administration regarding the residents of the "Pribrezhnoye" settlement's complaint about public transport issues.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that residents of Krasnodar periodically complain about public transport issues. For example, on April 4, 2024, the coordinator of the "Transport Initiative" movement, Marina Repeshchuk, demanded that the authorities build a tram line to the Vostochny-Kruglikovsky microdistrict. On January 5, 2023, residents of the city complained about the high cost of travel, the poor condition of public transport, and poorly thought-out routes.
