The Chisinau City Hall has plans to lease out the pubic transport stations that are under municipal management, mayor general Ion Ceban announced in the ordinary meeting of municipal services. The General Division of Economy, Trade and Tourism, in concert with the deputy mayors responsible for the legal and economic sectors, will design a concept for transferring the stations under private management, with the right to place advertisements in exchange for the maintenance of the stations, IPN reports.
Ion Ceban asked to consider the possibility of leasing the stations out to business entities for these to be repaired, modernized and lit and also maintained during a particular period of time. Instead, the business entities can place adverts without additional constrictions and without the possibility of privatization.
In connection with the recent vandalizing of public transport stations, the mayor asked the police to identify the culprits and to penalize them in accordance with the legislation.
In the municipality of Chisinau, there are about 700 public transport stations, 300 of which are managed by “EpaMedia”, while the rest by the local authorities.
