The opening of the fourth bridge in Novosibirsk is facing mixed reactions due to the proposed toll prices. Ranging from 100 to 300 rubles, with potential free passage for certain transport categories, the toll has sparked debate among residents.

Many Novosibirsk residents express dissatisfaction with the implementation of a toll on the new bridge. Some individuals voice frustration over already paying transport and excise taxes, while others predict low usage due to the cost. Some residents propose that other bridges will be closed for repairs as a result. However, some residents were not surprised by the prices and believe that the fourth bridge will be as popular as the other three in the city, noting that the cost is negligible for car owners, and public transport will remain free.

Other hot topics this past week include discussions about staffing levels in Russian Railways, the potential ban on the sale of vapes in Russia, criticism of Russian tourists in Abkhazia, and an edible bridge made of sausages.
