The Chairman of FTTU, Eng. Aleksandar Shopov, told News.bg that the situation with public transport in the capital remains critical and without progress in the dialogue between the institutions, there is no guarantee for a sustainable solution.

Shopov pointed out that there is a lack of real dialogue with the Mayor of Sofia, and the proposed reforms and measures to improve driving and working conditions in transport have not been discussed in an expert format.

The main problem is the lack of a budget and clear financial calculations for increasing salaries and improving the service, which, according to the trade union, leads to a standstill in reforms and poses a risk that public transport will not be able to function at full capacity.

FTTU emphasizes the need for a constructive dialogue with the municipality, the state, and all stakeholders to find long-term solutions that will guarantee sustainable and quality transport for all citizens of Sofia.
