Today, especially during the morning and evening peak hours, the delays observed in the inter-bus intervals on regular routes are not related to the number of buses on the daily route.

In the normal mode, if 2100-2200 buses used to go on the lines, now taking into account the decrease in passenger demand, 1900-2000 buses are put on the lines.

It is also possible to increase this number depending on passenger demand.

This was reported by the Baku Transport Agency in response to APA's inquiry.

It was noted that the main cause of delays is traffic congestion on the roads: "If there is congestion on any road, we increase the number of buses remaining in congestion by releasing an additional bus in that direction.

This is of no benefit to the passenger who is waiting for a bus for minutes at the parking lot."

Allegations of reducing the number of buses on regular route number 125 from BNA were also clarified.

It was brought to attention that currently 12-14 buses are released daily by BakuBus LLC on this line: "However, we are witnessing a long wait of passengers at the bus stops during peak hours.

Our passengers, who regularly use this line, are well aware that buses on the regular route number 125 are crowded on M. Useynov Avenue when they arrive in the direction of the city from Bayil.

Although there are special lanes for buses along the avenue, the violation of the lane requirement eventually causes a delay of 15 and sometimes 20/30 minutes between buses."

The agency also commented on the opinion that the reduction in the number of route buses will increase the fare.

It is emphasized that this is a completely baseless claim: "We have also stated above that the long waiting time of our passengers at bus stops today is due to the delay of buses in traffic jams.

The most correct way to adjust the inter-bus intervals is to expand the scope of bus lanes.

Yes, today there are such lanes in 10 streets and avenues in our city.

However, the discontinuity of these lanes and non-observance of the lane requirement do not allow to achieve the targeted effective results.

For example, let's take Gara Garayev Avenue, where buses also pass along the 7A regular route.

There is a streak here too.

But due to the gross violation of the lane requirement along the entire avenue, buses have to move with delay.

If the requirement of a bus lane is observed in this part, then even during peak hours, buses on the regular route line 7A can cover the distance from the stop in front of the "Ahmedli" metro station to the stop in front of the "Gara Garayev" metro station in 14 minutes.

But in the present case, this period is 30/35 minutes, and sometimes more.

The bus lane cuts the duration of passengers' bus journeys by at least half.

This in itself stimulates the use of public transport.

As a result, people will prefer to travel by buses rather than private cars, which is directly important in terms of reducing traffic congestion."

It was also stated from BNA that the Tariff Council has not been appealed to increase the fare, and this issue is not the subject of discussion at the moment.
