_Budget explosion due to bus discounts: The Lithuanian ticket office is on the brink?_ The Lithuanian government is considering a proposal for a temporary 50% discount on intercity bus travel, which will cost the state budget almost 3 million euros by the end of the year. This is what Deputy Minister of Transport Deville Sozhaitet said. The situation is complicated by the increase in fuel prices. Suzhetaite noted that it is planned to start selling tickets at discounted prices from mid-November, and this will require an additional 2.8 million euros from the treasury. Despite the importance of supporting public transportation, this initiative raises questions about the wisdom of spending budget funds. Members of Parliament, including Raymonds Quedis and Mindaugas Linga, are concerned about the economic feasibility of these measures. The budget and finance committee supported the proposal and it will be presented to the Symes.
