St. Petersburg could have water transport next year

30.01.2009
The draft bill on the introduction of a water transport system in the northern capital was prepared by the Committee for Transit-Transport Policy of the city and the government entity Upravlenie Glavnogo Vodnogo Transporta. The first discussion of the bill took place on January 28 at the city’s legislative Council.

The draft bill is a novelty, despite the status of St. Petersburg. Provided discussing of the bill does not drag on in the Legislative Council, the people of St. Petersburg could begin enjoying the benefits of such a bill this year.

Special attention first and foremost focused on the organization of regular routes and the organization of working capacity in navigation, and, of course, the creation practically from scratch of the necessary infrastructure.

City authorities will carefully monitor the process of creation of the infrastructure and scrutinize the companies that will be allowed to work in the field. St. Petersburg could well get an opportunity to decongest its surface transport system as soon as this year.
