Traveling by buses and trams in Ulan-Ude will be cheaper all year round with free payment. In the capital of Buryatia, a resolution was approved, which established tariffs on passenger transport by electric road transport from November 1, 2026. The payment amount for a non-cash payment will be lower by 10 rubles on buses and 9 rubles by tram. If the bus does not have a terminal or QR code for non-cash payment, passengers are entitled to pay for the trip in cash at the rate set for a non-cash payment form. At the same time, drivers are obliged to inform upon boarding of the absence of the possibility of payment by card or QR code. Ulan-Ude was one of the last cities in Siberia and the Far East to get the lowest fare for public transportation. During this period, the minimum wage increased by 20.7%, diesel fuel - by 21%, the cost of spare parts - up to 26%, bus repair and maintenance services - by more than 20%. Our municipal enterprises are subsidized by lost income, but private companies are not, said Sergey Budhagev, head of the transport department of the passenger organization of the Ulan-Ude transport committee. Remember that in Ulan-Ude there is an outflow of private providers due to lack of profitability. Since 2020, the transportation of passengers on 10 private city routes (No. 28, 51, 54, 64, 4, 25, 92, 23, 29 30) has been stopped. At the same time, the remaining routes, 19, 44, 46, 33, 57, 59, 77, are served by private providers, without rolling stocks. In order to stabilize the transportation service of the city's population, city buses were launched on four of the canceled roads No. 28, 51, 2592 according to a shortened plan. On two routes No. 17, 80 buses of private providers were completely replaced by buses of MUP "City" roads. On 11 routes number 2, 3, 19 37, 57, 59, 70, 71, 82, 95, 100, joint work of municipal and private buses.
