Plot The fourth wave of coronavirus in Russia
Duma deputies Vladimir Gutenev and Svetlana Bessarab commented on the proposal to provide the vaccinated against the coronavirus a 50% reduction on public transport, writes RT.
“ I am all for incentives that would increase the vaccination rate, but in this case I see a lot of costs '', & mdash; said the head of the Duma committee on industry and commerce Gutenev.
From his point of view, this measure will be “ difficult to administer '', especially in remote localities where transport services are provided by private companies
State Duma Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Committee member Bessarab believes the initiative has been presented “ with the best of intentions. & # 39; & # 39; “ Because really vaccination of the population '' this is an extremely vital goal now. But at the same time, it should not be forgotten that the transport costs are the responsibility of the municipal budget & # 39; & # 39 ;, & mdash; said the parliamentarian.
According to her, if today from above “drops such an order”, then, given the often deplorable state of the transport sector in many metropolitan areas of Russia, this can lead to even greater losses and the need for subsidies from the regional or federal budget.
