“For 90% of the population, air transport is not available. And today rail transport is becoming inaccessible. There is no reason for the formation of such outrageous tariffs. Compartment tickets and airline tickets should differ in price by at least 3-4 times, and not by 20-30%. The prices set by the railway are primarily associated with a large corruption burden in the formation of production costs, which are inflated several times over. All the problems that exist in the country today are connected with this.
For the same reasons, state-owned airlines were destroyed - they were privatized, all resources were pumped out and abandoned,” says the expert.
Under Yatsenyuk , train tickets have become more expensive, almost equaling air travel.
