In 2025, 144 bus drivers were dismissed in Bishkek
Arthur Omurzakov noted that 57 of the dismissed drivers were placed on a blacklist, which deprives them of the opportunity to be employed both in this fleet and in other municipal structures, such as "Tazalyk" and "Bishkekzelenstroy." "Dismissal can occur, for example, for running a red light, which is a serious violation of traffic rules," he added.
He also emphasized that despite regular meetings and explanatory activities with drivers, there are still unscrupulous workers among them.
“We do not have the ability to apply harsh measures, such as execution, and therefore we use all available administrative measures, including dismissal. Every week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, we conduct raids to monitor compliance with traffic rules by drivers at the busiest stops. In 2025, about 150 such inspections were carried out,” concluded the chief engineer.
