«It should be noted that in the first year of the project drivers paid only 30% of the total number of fines accrued, for two years the level of responsibility has doubled and now pay about 60%. At the same time, 40% of the regulations have not yet been implemented, and this is almost 11 billion local budget», Zhanna Tulegenova said in her speech during the briefing. For example, she said, almost 200 new buses can be bought for 11 billion.
