From the ticket compensation to the season ticket / The 4 requests of the National Association of Urban Transport are clarified
The day before, the Public Transport Union announced that from yesterday, the transport would operate with half of the number of vehicles available. On the other hand, the Municipality of Tirana stated that they are monitoring the situation and will provide appropriate measures.
Today, the request that the National Association of Urban Transport addressed to the Ministry of Finance and Economy was revealed on October 5. The operators demand from the Minister Delinas Ibrahimaj, the indexation of the ticket price, the reduction of the VAT, as well as the abolition of the excise or the turnover tax for the oil used by the transport sector.
On October 8, the association addressed a letter to Prime Minister Edi Rama asking them to compensate the ticket price of 30 lek per ticket and the subscription fee of 600 lek per season, in order to cover the costs of expenses.
Following the reopening of the pandemic, the urban transport service in Tirana faced a drop in passengers of up to 60%, while 75% of the bus fleet was used.
To survive the crisis, the operators asked the government to meet 4 requirements: subsidizing the missing revenue for transport entities as a result of safety protocol restrictions; Abolition of excise and fuel taxes, as has been implemented in other sectors of the economy; Reduction of VAT on sales from 20% - 0% for 2020 and return to the following level 6% as the hotel and tourism sector; Reimbursement at source of categories which benefit from free public transport.
In the request made yesterday, the National Transport Association requests the fulfillment of exactly 4 requirements: the compensation of the one-time ticket fee 30 lek / ticket; compensation of the monthly subscription ticket, general season ticket in the amount of 600 ALL / season ticket; monthly subscription ticket fee, 600 ALL / subscription; student ticket fee reimbursement.
