Freight transport is working at its maximum, as a structure that is necessary for the economy, Transport Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov told the BNR. It is evident that land transport has no alternative. Passenger transport, especially international transport, is frozen. In aviation, the decline in the EU is 80%. The state is obliged not to cut number of trains in order to guarantee this service. Passenger transport in cities and towns continues to function but is limited. We hear the voice of the people and depending on the severity of consequences we will take necessary measures, the minister added.
