"Considering the abnormally low temperatures," Yekaterinburg will resume bus service, which residents fought for.

We are talking about a direct route between Yekaterinburg and satellite towns Verkhnyaya Pyshma и Sredneuralsk, thousands of whose residents study and work in the region's capital. NotMoscow wrote that the flight cancellation and transfers made the trip significantly longer and harder.
 
Despite requests, the route will not be reinstated permanently, but rather "taking into account severe frosts" until an "optimal transport plan" is developed. The decision was made following a question during a "direct line" with the governor. Evgeniy Kuyvashev, although residents of satellite towns have been complaining for more than a month, and the petition has been signed by more than 12 thousand people.
 
Their only remaining public transportation option is the intercity tram, which requires several transfers. Residents believe the new system is designed to reduce the traffic on the tram line, which has cost over 6 million rubles.

"I understand, people are used to it. They were used to traveling when there was a direct bus, when there was no tram. Today, there is a tram. I haven't made any decisions about buses yet. We're monitoring the situation... Residents' convenience, of course, must be our top priority. But we can't just reach every apartment with a specific, targeted service," Kuyvashev said on the "Direct Line."

"They're sick of their tram. Residents didn't ask for it. People spend two hours getting to work and school, and today in the cold it's even longer, they're frozen." "If residents' convenience is your priority, bring back direct bus service!" people wrote on social media.

They reported that on December 7, the trams stopped and they had to wait for a long time at stops in temperatures of -26 degrees Celsius.
