«Were not confirmed»: Ungheni's transport operator finds no double charge and will not say how it checked

Three days after several passengers complained, in the comments under the notice about paying by card on the bus, about multiple charges, SRL «Servicii Comunale Ungheni» announces that it «checked every case reported» and that nothing was confirmed, putting some of the complaints down to «fake profiles». The statement does not say how many cases were checked or by what method, and the questions Triunghi.md sent on 14 July remain unanswered. Under the notice, a woman from Ungheni keeps asking where the journeys on the travel card have gone.

Ungheni's transport operator says double-charging is impossible. Its own website promises less — and nowhere does it say how you get your money back

Under the official notice about paying by card on the bus, people in Ungheni say they were charged twice and three times over, and one passenger says he paid 28 lei for a 6-lei ride. The operator guarantees on Facebook that «it is impossible to be charged twice». On its own portal, the guarantee is far narrower. We read the regulation approved by the local council, the operator's contract and the payment services law: the procedure by which a wrongly charged passenger gets their money back is written nowhere — but the law gives them firm deadlines, both with the operator and with the bank.

A free bank account for pensioners and fees in plain sight: the law affecting 19,709 Ungheni pensioners clears its first vote

Parliament has passed in first reading an NCFM law that will force banks to display their fees in a standardized document, create a public fee-comparison website and guarantee everyone the right to a “payment account with basic features” — free of charge for the financially vulnerable, chiefly pensioners. In the Ungheni district, home to 19,709 pensioners, where nearly two thirds of people live in villages and one in four is over 60, the stake is financial inclusion: only 55.5% of adults in Moldova still have a bank account, down from 64.2% in 2021. Note: this is only the first reading, and the provisions take effect only 12–24 months after publication.
