As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, the long-awaited Sljeme cable car has finally received a permit for its use, meaning that its opening is likely by the end of this month, Deputy Mayor of Zagreb Danijela Dolenec said at a recently held press conference, and Sljeme cable car tickets, which will be promotional at first, will be known next week.
“By the end of the week, a report on the safety of the cable car is expected, and the last step involves work permits from the Ministry of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Infrastructure. It remains possible and certain that the cable car will finally be put into function by the end of this month,” said Dolenec.
Sljeme cable car ticket prices should be known as early as next week.
“At the beginning of next week, in any case before the opening, we’ll present the Sljeme cable car ticket price list, with the proviso that it will operate according to a promotional price for a while. We’re still doing analyses and having consultations,” said Mayor Tomislav Tomasevic.
When asked whether the average family with children would be able to afford Sljeme cable car tickets, Tomasevic said that this was the idea behind the pricing plans.
Answering a question about the course of the social dialogue with the unions regarding the announced dismissals of the redundant workers in Zagreb Holding, Dolenec pointed out that “the management and the unions are very intensive in the consultation process”.
“Let’s wait a little longer. I’m sure that some of the employees will take severance pay themselves and leave of their own accord,” said Tomasevic.
