Vladimir Yakunin called ensuring the safety of traffic the priority task of the corporation.
Although the total number of faults has been reduced during the first half year (by 13%, including 28% in special cases, and 15% in passenger trains), the traffic safety is not sufficient yet.
Meeting the train schedule, which is another important factor of the corporation’s reliability, has declined during last two months, which is an unprecedented fact.
In June and May, the schedule was met 0.2% worse than last year (98.7%). Many passengers complain about passenger and suburban trains being late; those facts adversely affect the corporation’s reputation as well as its position on passenger traffic market, disturb the operation of stations and enterprises thus decreasing the safety of train traffic.
There are many complains of service quality in trains and at stations. There have been numerous complains about dirty carriage interior in suburban trains, shut windows in carriages during summer time, lack of light during night, open doors to carriage platforms, and illegal trade in trains and at stations.
The changes in suburban train schedules have not been timely announced. There are also many complains of ticket collectors in suburban trains.
Concluding the teleconference the corporation’s President set the following tasks for the third quarter:
1. Provide freight loading of no less than 324.1 million tons (3.8% growth comparing to the 2004 level);
2. Provide passenger turnover of 49.5 billion passenger-km (5.5% growth comparing to the 2004 level);
3. Provide no less than 9.2% productivity growth comparing to the 2004 level;
4. Perform the planned volume of traffic and capital repair of assets within the preset amount of operational costs: 161.6 billion roubles.
5. Receive at least 168 billion roubles of income by maximising traffic and improving its structure.
