In the capital of Kyrgyzstan, there is an increase in the number of passengers evading payment for bus rides. This problem is faced by transport service workers, who reported on the situation.

According to transport operators, such incidents occur most frequently during peak hours when there are many people in the cabin, making it difficult for drivers to check each payment code.

Some passengers, according to representatives of transport companies, reuse old receipts, scan the same QR code multiple times, and send screenshots of single-use tickets to other people. In some cases, the same receipt is presented by 10-15 people at once, while the driver is focused on driving and cannot carefully monitor payments.

Transport company workers describe such actions as "absolutely unscrupulous," emphasizing that drivers have to work under constant abuse from some passengers.

According to information from the services, such fraudulent schemes cause significant damage to transport organizations and create additional difficulties in organizing urban transportation.
