A Belarusian woman said on Threads that an intercity minibus driver skipped a stop and dropped off her underage daughter late in the evening on the outskirts of Volkovysk, shouting at her and bringing her to tears. The post<\/a> has received around 170,000 views and more than 4,000 likes. The transport company has promised to investigate.<\/p>\n

According to the author of the post, on November 8 her 17-year-old daughter was travelling from Minsk to Volkovysk on a Minsk-Ross minibus operated by YUVitLike LLC.<\/p>\n

“At 8:20 p.m., after passing the paid stop in Volkovysk, he drove her out of town, shouted at her not to ask him to turn back, and dropped her off on the outskirts of Volkovysk,”<\/em> she wrote. “My daughter called me and was crying so hard that I thought my heart would stop. I tried calling him, but he switched off his phone,”<\/em> she added.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The woman attached a screenshot of a map showing her daughter’s location. The marked point is on the outskirts of the town, by a road near residential apartment blocks.<\/p>\n

What the Law Says<\/h2>\n

Some commenters sided with the driver, suggesting that the girl had “fallen asleep” and missed her destination without asking the driver to stop. Her mother denies this. But even if that had been the case, the Rules for Road Transport (Resolution No. 147 of the Council of Ministers dated March 31, 2026) are on the passenger’s side. Paragraph 101 states that an intercity express minibus must stop where a passenger is due to get off. The girl had a ticket to Volkovysk and was getting off there, so the driver was required to stop.<\/p>\n

In addition, drivers must announce “the names of the current and next stops” and be polite to passengers (Paragraph 229); there are no exceptions for minibuses. Drivers may also drop off passengers only at designated stops (Paragraph 49). If the account is accurate, the driver may have violated several provisions of the rules.<\/p>\n

In the comments, the girl’s mother said she had filed complaints with the traffic police in Volkovysk District, the Transport Inspectorate for the Grodno Region and the Grodno Regional Executive Committee. In her view, the driver violated traffic regulations, passenger transport rules, consumer protection law and the terms of the carriage contract. She promised to publish the responses.<\/p>\n

Transport Company’s Response<\/h2>\n

A user posting on behalf of YUVitLike LLC responded in the comments. They thanked the woman for bringing the matter to the company’s attention and promised that it would conduct an investigation, review video recordings and assess the situation. The woman was asked to contact the company by phone.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She refused to discuss the matter by phone and asked for an email address so that she could submit a written complaint. “You employ rude drivers, and he is not the first to behave this way,”<\/em> she replied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
