The tariffs for the intraurban transport have been increased illegally because the Tariff Council hasn't made such a decision, Azerbaijani economic development minister Heydar Babayev told a press-conference on September 15, Trend reports.
According to Babayev, presently the Ministry of Transport is carrying out relevant works, and measures will be taken in relation with the offenders.
In the near future, the Tariff Council plans to consider the issue of raising the quality of intraurban transport. For this purpose, it is expected to put new buses into operation and the licensing will be made according to the results of monitoring.
The prices for intraurban transport have increased from 500 old Azeri manats to 1000 old manats. The reason for this is the mass movement in relation with the beginning of the new academic year.
