In Water of social benefit fay

“There is an injustice here. I've been saying it all along. Who do we carry? Who gets on the bus? We carry our spouses and children who go to school, who work on our buses, the majority of whom receive minimum wage or above. When IZBAN strikes, the number of people over 65 who benefit from public transportation has dropped. We do not say 'do not move over 65' but this has to have an account and a book. The social benefit is also out of water. Everyone will pay for the product they use and consume. The state is like this. There is no state to let him win the game. If the government wants to help over 65 years of age, it gives it as a toll. ESHOT knows its budget and makes its budget accordingly. If I am a lawmaker, I know how to give those people that money, how to reduce its cost. ”
