The psychological struggle against the pandemic, optimization of public administration, a possible increase in fares for public transport, and rejection of the idea of uniform tariffs for taxi services are topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the psychological struggle against the pandemic, noting that it will be defeated by people's optimism. The author, with reference to WHO, notes that you can protect yourself from coronavirus if you follow all the established rules. With regard to the psychological impact of the pandemic on humans, the author notes that it is great due to the fear of infection, as well as the restrictions imposed. Exceeding the norm of psychological influence can lead to depression, stress lowers immunity, which leads to infection.
The website Yenisabah.az writes that the deputies are discussing the issue of optimizing public administration. It is about the cancellation of the Kepaz and Nizami districts of the city of Ganja, which is necessary in order to improve the quality of the city's governance as a whole. An example is the city of Sumgayit, whose population is close to that of Ganja. Centralized city management is more efficient and optimal. In addition, problems will be resolved more quickly, and the elimination of a large administrative apparatus will save budget funds.
The Sfera.az website discusses with experts the possibility of increasing the fare on public transport up to 40-50 qepiks. This can happen if a unified dispatch system for taxi management is created or uniform tariffs are applied.
However, the Tariff Council will have to justify the price increase.
The website Yeniavaz.com, continuing the topic of increasing taxi services, discusses it with the deputy Vahid Ahmedov. According to him, the taxi service has several problems. This is the level of service, the tariffs that both drivers and customers should be satisfied with, as well as the vehicle fleet that needs to be renewed, especially since new taxis are being imported into the country.
