Tram service in one Kuzbass city has been suspended due to unpaid electricity bills. Meanwhile, bears are roaming the city.
Morning trams canceled in a city of 40 Aspen groves, which is located 250 km from the regional center.
The mayor's office clarified that the decision was due to the carrier's unpaid electricity bills. Incidentally, the company is municipally owned: last year, it posted a loss of almost five million rubles. Previously, passengers complained to frequent breakdowns of rolling stock and the deplorable condition of the carriages.
Trams will now be closed between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. Residents are outraged that the authorities took these measures now, before the onset of cold weather. Furthermore, bears periodically appear in the city—their noticed Even near the school. Therefore, walking along the streets on foot is simply unsafe now.
Officials asked residents to treat the situation "with understanding."
