Head of Bakisernishinnegliyati: "Entrepreneurs were notified that old buses should be taken off the routes in 2006"

"Transport Minister Ziya Mamedov gathered entrepreneurs in November of 2006 and announced that those buses which do not meet requirements should be taken off the routes within 2007".

The due announcement was made by head of Bakisernishinnegliyati, Jeyhun Abdullayev, commenting on yesterday's announcements of 62 entrepreneurs, who stated that Azerbaijan's Transport Minister Ziya Mamedov decided to take control over the whole passenger transport of the capital city.

"Those companies, which took these requirements into consideration, are now operating normally. As for the Transgate company, it has supplied Azerbaijan with large buses. Should we leave these buses in garages and use old Mercedes instead of them? No. We must create conditions for them. These are state routes, they are not private", Abdullayev said.

According to Abdullayev, companies, which have supplied large modern buses to Azerbaijan, should be equipped with normal routes.

"They have been notified that while supplying buses they should coordinate technical parameters with the Transport Ministry and only then supply them", he announced.

He also noted that the entrepreneurs were recommended to unite several small companies into a larger one, which will undoubtedly improve the quality of services, provided to the population.
