It became known, what will happen to the benefits of public transportation

Ukrainians will offset benefits in the money.

The Cabinet has already started the monetization of subsidies and is also preparing a monetization of social benefits in transport. So, instead of benefits in kind the Ukrainians will be provided with monetary compensation. This was stated by Minister of social policy of Ukraine Andriy Reva.

He noted that the current system of benefits in kind perpetuates social inequality.

“For example, if you live in Kiev you every day can use four modes of transport, and if you live in a village in Zhytomyr region, then you are at best once or twice a year will use the subway,” said Reva.
While to date the country has not set limits for concessional travel on public transport, which encourages abuse from passengers – they go without any restrictions, whereas the government has to compensate the cost of travel, the head of the Ministry of social policy.

The new system, the Minister needs to address this imbalance.

“Set the standards of trips, and is the calculation of the cost of these trips. Then the person is allocated a monthly sum, and if he lives in a city where there is appropriate transport, he is paid the money for promotion – and within this amount, he uses the service. If he lives in a rural location and enjoys travel, he provides the documents when he passed, and he carried out the compensation of travel expenses for the month,” said Reva.
