"It's now more expensive to go to Librazhd"/ Citizens complain

Citizens traveling on the Librazhd-Tirana line are facing an increase in ticket prices, raising concerns about a lack of control.

Memaj calls for the establishment of a fiscalized electronic ticket system to avoid abuses and increase transparency.

Standup Citizens traveling on the Librazhd-Tirana line are facing significant increases in ticket prices, raising concerns about how fares are determined and the lack of control.

According to citizen complaints, the ticket price on the Librazhd-Tirana line has increased significantly, from 300 lek to 4,000 lek, an increase that is considered unjustified by daily users of this service.

Standup They point out that prices immediately increase when fuel prices rise, but do not decrease afterwards, even when the price of oil falls.

Dashnor Memaj, Chairman of the Urban and Intercity Transport Association, states that for intercity lines, prices are determined by the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Decisions of the Council of Ministers, based on kilometers, and are predetermined.

He adds that in cases where there are unjustified increases, the relevant monitoring structures intervene.
