Article: Budget Busters: Garden-Route Transportation Hike in Biysk Sparks Outrage
Biji locals have estimated the bus fare to reach their dacha.
The latest hike in ticket prices has turned a simple trip to the dacha or garden into a pricey indulgence for many Biychan residents. As of May 1, the fare on seasonal gardening routes in Biysk's public transport stands at 50 rubles.
Multiple gardeners rely on transfers to reach their plots, making regular visits to their dacha a costly affair. Alongside increased fares (by an eyebrow-raising 45%), there are also concerns about prolonged waits for transportation.
A chorus of complaints echoes in the head of Biysk's chatroom, with residents questioning, "Why do people from AB to SNT Oleumshchik have to make transfers when other parts of the city can manage with just one route, either 6 or 39?"
One user commented, "With these suggested transfers, it will cost us 200 rubles to get to the 'Oleumshchik' garden. It used to be only grandmas who went, and the bus was always packed."
Route No. 39s is another hotspot, with passengers reporting irregular schedules and even drivers threatening to abandon the route. "The bus driver told us there will only be one bus," shared one frustrated commuter.
Last year, gardening routes faced similar challenges: a shortage of buses and drivers, as well as poor road conditions that made reaching some gardening associations difficult.
Meanwhile, in SNT "Berezka," a different kind of blockade unfolds…
Turns out, the "Milk" shores of Biysk's SNT "Berezka" have played host to a roadblock preventing other gardeners from reaching their plots.
