For several months five villages Chashniki area do not have bus service to the district center. Villagers can not even get to the hospital or to the market.

In the "People's news Vitebsk" asked the villagers boyars and Selets with the message that during the autumn and winter are not met flights shuttle bus "Chashniki-Selets." For the population of the villages Astashova, Bajary, Vezhovka, Selets and Tarantovo this route that the bus went twice on Friday and twice on Sunday, was the only way to get to the district center.

In the department of transportation of "Vitebskoblavtotrans" after many refinements have confirmed that last week flights on the route "Chashniki-Selets" is not exactly valid, citing the fact that the JSC "Motor Company №9 of Chashniki" is a general lack of passenger traffic. For further explanation of the situation demanded that they send a formal request.

At the same time, the villagers say that in the summer the bus stop in their villages appeared from time to time, and we had to call the bus station to clarify - whether he will this time. Information about the alleged low passenger traffic, they tend to explain the fact that drivers often travel expenses put it in his pocket and do not issue tickets, which is why, of course, and it seems that the bus ride is empty.

According to the decision of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee of 25 July 2011 № 464 "On the list of social standards in serving the population of the Vitebsk region" with, as amended, settlements, where 20 to 50 people, should have a coverage of 100 per cent of the public transport with performance at least 4 flights a week, and with a population of over 50 people - at least 8 flights per week. As you can see, high standards in the area Chashniki in this case observed only on paper.

According to the villagers, they are now unable to get to the market to sell on the market the fruits of their labor, which is supported by the low pensions of former farmers. More difficulty arises in the case of illness - the doctor has to get on the ride to or cause a "first aid".

Forgotten district authorities villagers left without bus service, reluctantly say that if the state does not need them, even in the state they do not need and allow for the possibility of boycotting the upcoming presidential elections.
