We support the mayoralties sand mayors to provide the residents with transport, including through the opening and change of regular routes. We reduce the bureaucracy! We said ‘’goodbye’’ to driver’s logbook.  

We fiscalize and digitalize the road transport: e-ticket and e-routing. We impose the fiscalization of the process of issuance of the travel ticket and the tickets will be issued as fiscal bonds or electronic documents. The government insists that this process is carried out till the end of the 2024 year,’’ Daniel Voda said.  

The spokesman for the government noted that ‘’the decisions taken regard the enhancement of the safety, correctness and quality of citizens’ movement.’’ ‘’This goal is essential for the authorities in the dialogue with the carriers and any institutional communication will be made through the present platforms. Hence, are these measures welcome for the passengers and for the carriers who want to work correctly? Yes. Are these measures welcome for those who want to work according to the old rules? Probably no,’’ Daniel Voda added.   

APOTA today made public a letter addressed to Prime Minister Dorin Recean, thereby asking for a meeting with the PM, to discuss the problems in the sector.
