Bus operators in Almaty, Kazakhstan, say they are ready to cut a third of buses from routes, blaming unpaid subsidies.
The city's passenger transport association has told the mayor's office it could take 30 percent of buses off the lines, its chairman Yerlan Adilov confirmed to the outlet Vlast. Since January, the city has delayed subsidy payments, and the debt stood at about 15 billion tenge at the start of November.
Operators say they warned the city to prepare for winter and were not heard. The mayor's office has not yet commented.
