“The request of unreasonable Podujevo transporters, aim to remove the toll in traffic”

Transporters of the Podujevo municipality have stayed all night before the Pristina municipality in protest following the decision to ban them from entering the capital without any prior notice.

Pristina Mayor Luftar Braha has said the Pristina municipality is only aimed at releasing Pristina's streets and removing tollovia in traffic.

He has said he had several meetings with protesters, reports Online Economy, Transmitt Periscope.

The “in our goals is the liberation of Pristina's roads, the removal of toll in traffic. As free as possible in communications possible for all participants not only of cars but also of pedestrians and other participants. One of these steps is the work being done and the work being done on the way Ilir Konushevci, known as the road to the Llap Mosque, where these urban carriers use it as a bus station that should not actually be with the Ministry's early decisions to use as a stop stop, and we'll take the passenger down for a very short time, two minutes not to wait for hours or minutes in that segment, and we've removed the Pristina Parking segment as well, we've freed both strips for the circulation. It's a narrow throat, there's a huge flow of cars going through that segment and it's seen as necessary that we take steps to move urban transport across roads that belong to urban transportation, which are regional roads and that send to the main stop point and that's the bus station”, he said.

Braha has stressed that the Pristina municipality aims at urban public transportation reform and unified tickets.

With this movement, we've had the first point closed that is reform of urban public transportation and unified ticket. There is reform that progressively meets long - term reform, which is the regulation of all traffic and the functionality of multimal circulation, including bicycles, taxi drivers, and many other components of circulation. We've received requests from urban Podujevo carriers that come only from them, they don't come from other associations to use the central road to get into the bus station and continue to pick up travelers in the street segment of Ilir Konusevci, which is feasible on our part because the dynamics of city development have changed. The dynamics of the number of cars entering the city have changed, he said.

According to Brashe, the demand of Podujevo bus companies is unreasonable.

“The solution is made, their request is unreasonable. We've considered the other demands, we're fighting all our teams of inspection and police and mobile teams are on the field fighting taxis in black. Their legitimate market opens up to them, fighting these taxis, removing them from the market and from the movement. But their demand to move to the busy urban area is steady crepes. It's unreasonable and unintelligible. It is a request that if it serves the 30 Podujevo operators it is a request that damaged the 200 thousand residents of Pristina. A shipment done on Ilir Konushevci Street, directly load up the main road, the main artery that is Agim Ramadani, and from it are also assigned roads such as Eqrem Eqrej, Bill Clinton, the big boulevard”, he said.
