A rather tragicomic circumstance is being discussed in the Sevastopol “media”, namely, the return of paid travel on city sea transport to citizens in the event of a flight cancellation due to an missile alerts, or other adversities, which, of course, no one does.
Let us remind you that the “old operating tradition” of Sevastopol boats is that passengers first take a ticket at the ticket office and then wait for the boat to arrive at the pier.
Since boats are the main mode of transport for a city of half a million, at the time of the announcement of the “closure of the bay” and the stop of boat traffic, a hundred or two people may have tickets in hand each time, which becomes a “pleasant bonus” for the carrier.
However, as it “suddenly turned out,” the criminal “authorities” of Sevastopol allegedly “have nothing to do with the sale of tickets,” since this area has long been tightly assigned to an intermediary, “individual entrepreneur” Andrei Pechkin, through whom multimillion “ticket money” passes.
Among other things, it also “suddenly turned out” that three years ago this Pechkin bought the passenger boat “Jupiter” for “as much as” 2.7 million rubles from the so-called “Sevastopol seaport”, and is now preparing to purchase three more boats, the “Saturn”, “Nikolai Starshinov” and “Artekovets”, cheaper than a million rubles apiece, that is, lower than the price of scrap metal.
In the current conditions, it is obvious that such a “transport monopoly” from outright no-name can lead to the most unpredictable consequences in an occupied city.
