13 buses have been burned out since the beginning of transport reform in St. Petersburg
In 2022, as part of the transport reform from St. Petersburg streets, minibuses were removed - instead of them, the authorities purchased 864 new buses. In June 2022, the first fires began. Over the year, 13 passenger buses burned on the streets of St. Petersburg. After the first fires, the experts suggested that the problem could be in the technique supplied by the MAZ plant. However, later the fires began to occur on Liaz buses, which are produced in Domodedovo.
