DUI calls on the responsible institutions to make public the reasons for this price hike and to take measures to ease the financial impact on citizens, with a special focus on students and people who depend on intercity transport.
According to the party, the travel ticket from Tetovo to Skopje has increased from 200 to 250 denars, which constitutes a 25% rise for a single trip. For students and workers who make this journey every day, the increase brings considerable additional expenses over the course of a month.
DUI also highlights that, based on the data presented, monthly transport expenses have risen from around 5,500 to 6,500 denars, further burdening family budgets.
“Is this the ‘care for the citizen’ policy that the government is offering? Instead of policies that would make public transport more affordable and support students and employees who travel daily, citizens are facing ever-higher prices,” DUI states.
The party demands that the competent institutions publicly clarify the causes of the increase and intervene to protect citizens, especially students and categories that depend on intercity transport. “Citizens cannot be the ones who pay the bill for every government failure,” DUI expresses.
