Despite the authorities' promises, Crimea was unable to put more buses into service
In Crimea, which has been temporarily annexed by Russia, a major fuel crisis continues to worsen, causing widespread disruptions to passenger transport in many cities.
Despite the occupying authorities’ loud claims that the situation is under control, hundreds of buses were again unable to run their routes due to a lack of fuel.
According to the pro-Russian website ForPost, following an incident in which 400 buses failed to operate, the Russian head of Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, instructed his subordinates to resolve the situation.
“The fleet will be assigned to specific gas stations, and refueling will be carried out according to a strict schedule,” he assured.
However, by June 8, it became known that a significant portion of public transportation on the peninsula remained in the depot.
For example, in Yalta, according to official data from the local administration controlled by the Russian Federation, only 108 out of 132 vehicles were able to operate on the routes.
A similar critical situation has been reported in other regions: in Kerch, the number of trips was significantly reduced; in the Leninsky District, four suburban routes were completely canceled; and in the Sovetsky District, municipal buses have been running exclusively in the morning and evening since June 4.
Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Transport of the temporarily occupied Crimea told journalists that bus service in the region is operating at full capacity.
The Russian authorities in Sevastopol have also put out exactly the same false information, which contradicts the facts.
This is reported by the media outlet “Krym.Realii,” citing local sources and reports from Crimean residents.
