Minsktrans has decided to deactivate the door-opening buttons on public transport vehicles. The company previously held a poll on the issue through its social media accounts.
“We would like to inform you that opinions on the selective door-opening system were divided almost equally. However, given that a slight majority of passengers are still not ready to accept this system, the ‘warm’ buttons have been temporarily deactivated. Minsktrans plans to take additional measures to inform passengers, including placing stickers inside vehicles, and will return to testing the buttons at a later stage,” the company said.
The selective door-opening buttons on public transport vehicles were activated on May 1. The move prompted mixed reactions from passengers, and complaints have been received over the past several months.
