Burulaştan hike statement: Burulaş, the transportation company of Bursa Metropolitan Municipality, made a statement about the hike in urban public transportation.
Burulaş General Manager Levent Fidansoy pointed out that the main cost elements of transportation vehicles are fuel oil, spare parts and labor. Fidansoy said: “The costs and increases in transportation vehicles all over the world are above the average inflation. For this reason, transportation prices increase even in countries with zero or very low inflation. In most of these countries, the cost coverage rate of ticket prices is at most 35 - 40 percent. The remaining part is financed from different sources. In our country, transportation companies continue their activities with their own revenues and the increase in costs necessitates price increases. It is absolutely not possible to use the Burulaş revenues for its own transportation financing and to transfer resources to another place. "
Emphasizing that there has been a 35 percent increase in foreign currency prices in the last year, Fidansoy said, “With the 12 percent increase in labor, new financial obligations to the sector have made price adjustment mandatory. Although the actual direct cost increase was 14 percent, the average price increase was 8,2 percent. In case of a decrease in costs or incentives, discounts are required. In addition, if our citizens' preference for monthly cards increases, monthly cards will be cheaper in a very short time. " said.
