The information portal "KlanKosova.tv", yesterday (July 12) published an article titled "Bus tickets are also becoming more expensive".
From fact-checking, hibrid.info has confirmed that the title of this article does not match the content, this is due to the fact that the ticket price for travel on Urban Traffic buses has not increased, but is expected to increase.
The content includes the statement of the director of Public Services in the capital, Ilirik Musliu, who emphasized that the possibility of increasing the price of bus tickets has been discussed, at the request of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
So, a decision has not yet been made on increasing the price of tickets for travel on Urban Traffic buses, as the title suggests.
It is also worth noting that in his interview with KlanKosova.tv, Musliu did not give a date when such a decision (increasing the price of tickets) is expected to be made. However, at the end of the article, the author mentioned that "The decision on changes to urban transport will be made by September at the latest."

This article by Klan Kosova with an inappropriate title has also been distributed by several other portals such as "Periscope.com","Gazetainfokus.com","GazetaBlic.com”And“Kosova.info".
It should be noted that regarding such a decision, there is still no official announcement from “Urban Traffic”. On the official website of “Urban Traffic” in the “Prices” category, it can be seen that currently the price of a one-way ticket is 0.40 euros. (see here)
Analyze:
The information portal "KlanKosova.tv" conducted an interview with the director of Public Services in the capital, Ilirik Musliu, who announced that the ticket price for travel on Urban Traffic buses is expected to increase.
However, the aforementioned portal gave this article the inadequate title "Bus tickets are also becoming more expensive", implying that this decision has already come into effect.
