Part of the private bus carriers in Skopje until the end of this week will only drive until 10 am. This is, as they say, a warning and they require payment of finance so they can continue driving. According to them, since January of this year they have taken only a part of the funds and because they have not been paid for the service they provide.
Some of them, as they say, had a meeting with the director of the Public Transport Company "Skopje", who has now already been dismissed from his position, and from whom they received a promise that they would gradually be paid the arrears. That way, as they say, their debt will be fully paid by September.
They say that they have no announcement about what will happen after his dismissal.
Private carriers ceased to be part of the city's public transport in November 2022 due to debts that they demanded to be paid by the City of Skopje. In late November and early December, more than 300 buses parked at key intersections blocked the capital.
Mayor Danela Arsovska denied that the city has a debt to private companies, and last year she said that she is sure that the City of Skopje can function without private bus carriers.
