YABLOKO conducted picketing against reduction of commuter trains outside the Russian Railways
Press release, 28.01.2015
YABLOKO activists conducted picketing against cancelation of local commuter trains. Local commuter trains will be fully cancelled in the Pskov region and the Zabaikalye Territory, partially cancelled in the Belgorod, Bryansk, Vologda, Voronezh, Kursk, Kaliningrad, Kirov, Kostroma, Nyzhny Novgorod, Orel, Tver, Tambov, Chelyabinsk regions and the Perm Territory.
First deputy Chair of the Moscow branch of YABLOKO Galina Mikhaleva noted that “another wave of local commuter trains reduction puts the citizens of towns in tight conditions since commuter trains can’t be replaced by buses”.
“The Russian Railways is a monopolist which takes money from the federal budget, its spendings are nontransparent, but at the same time the managers of the company earn enormous sums of money. We insist that a check must be conducted”, said Galina Mikhaleva.
In April 2014 YABLOKO conducted picketing against reduction of commuter trains.
