Preferential Tulpar cards will be confiscated if they are handed over for use by other people. Ulanbek Beishenbaev, Director of the Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development, announced at a meeting of the Standing Commission of Bishkek City Council.
MP Emir Marlisbekov asked how the issue of fare evasion on public transport is being addressed.
Ulanbek Beishenbaev explained that inspectors identify fare evaders in cooperation with police officers. He also raised the issue of abuse of preferential Tulpar cards, noting that some cardholders misuse the benefit.
