The season of "pillows" is postponed until steady frosts

On a crossing Salekhard and Labytnangi there took place check of readiness of the ice route for continuous work of transportations by all-terrain vehicles on airbags.

The Arctic-3Д all-terrain vehicle made trial arrival to the coast Labytnangi. While ice on Ob reaches a 7-centimetric point. That you won't tell about the river middle.

"The route isn't ready yet to transportation of passengers, - the chief of service of motor transport and equipment stated State Unitary Enterprise Yamalavtodor Victor Strokov. – Ice on the river was established near a shore, but the middle of the river didn't stiffen, is filled with ice splinters. Such conditions of journey won't allow to gain sure speed, besides, it is necessary to crew of "pillow" at each disembarkation – to loading of passengers to clear propellers of nastyvshy ice for one trip. It will "eat" too time" .

As soon as ice will be established and journey for "pillows" becomes safe, to a route there are three cars. Passengers will have an opportunity to get the ticket from 7th morning to the 11th evening. Tariff present "the pillow period": 60 rubles – for the passenger and 30 rubles – for baggage. Alexey Kostogryz, the deputy head of department of transport of specialized district department added that sale of tickets will be made in the warm room: "… Bought the ticket, mudflows, went. That didn't stand on a frost".

But on Ob private "pillows" ply, carriers on snowmobiles and even pedestrians pass the river on thin ice. Checkpoint officers aren't competent to interfere with these life-threatening movement. And if carriers at control of appropriate authorities can receive a penalty, the pedestrians overcoming a dangerous way, risk own life.
