Russia (bbabo.net), - The development of the road network in cities has not kept pace with the growth in the number of cars. Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin spoke about this in his speech at the Gaidar Forum.

Over the past ten years, the number of public transport users has decreased by 19%, the Deputy Prime Minister noted. This is due both to an increase in the income of the population, which actively buys cars, and to uncomfortable public transport. Meanwhile, in existing cities it is impossible to build such a large number of road networks, Khusnullin stressed. It is necessary to develop public transport, railway transport following the example of Moscow.

Meanwhile, road deaths have fallen by 9% over the past year, Khusnullin said. First of all, because of putting the roads in order. The three main causes of death on the roads are driving into the oncoming lane, drunk driving and collisions at pedestrian crossings, Khusnullin said.
