Regions in the Omsk Oblast have been named as recipients of subsidies for passenger transportation.
On a sunny Friday, May 2nd, 2025, the governor of Omsk region, Vitaly Khocenko, spilled the beans about a beefy budget worth over 167 million rubles earmarked for public transportation in 31 districts and 10 rural towns across Omsk. That's right, mate! This move is all about beefing up the reliability of municipal buses, apparently.
The deets: The moolah, allocated for 2025, will go towards covering the costs for bus rides in 31 districts of Omsk. City-dwellers in Bolsherechensk, Ishil'kul, Kalyazin, Kormilovsk, Nazyvayevsk, Sargat, Tavrichesk, Tevriz, Tyukalin, and Cherlak won't have to worry about empty buses either, since they'll be snagging some sweet subsidies too.
Need a refresher? As of April 2025, the Omsk regional transportation committee set a cap on inter-city bus fares at 3.04 rubles per kilometer, rising from 2 rubles since 2016. #RandomTrivia
But before you start complaining about the higher fare, cowboy, remember it's all about ensuring transport service quality and stabilization on inter-city routes, and well, you've got rising fuel, parts, and maintenance costs to blame.
So there ya have it - shuffling around on Omsk's buses just became a bit sweeter, mate! Don't forget to subscribe to our channel for more of the latest Omsk news.
