Driver conscription leads to bus service cuts in Mykolaiv, mayor says
Mykolaiv will see reduced bus service on city routes due to
driver conscriptions, Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych announced at a briefing on May 22.
"At the last meeting with the director of our enterprise, I received information that we have mobilized additional drivers who were working and that starting next week, minus two buses will be running on the routes," said the official.
The buses will remain parked, but there is no one to drive them.
"People are working in shifts," he added.
39 trolleybuses, 27 trams, and 22 buses were running in Mykolaiv on May 21, Senkevych said.
"There will be minus two, that is, minus 10% of the buses," the mayor said.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
