Bus routes in Kurgan region are now up for a competitive bidding process
The Department of Economic Development of Kurgan Oblast has announced an open competition for passenger transportation permits on inter-municipal bus routes. The competition, which began accepting applications on August 13, 2025, and will continue until September 11, 2025, includes four routes: Vvedenka to Ketovo, Vargashinsky CP to Kurgan Bus Station, Kurgan to Oshurkovo, and Krasnyy Oktyabr to Kurgan.
However, the competition has faced some setbacks. The regional Department of Economic Development has announced the cancellation of the competition results for several routes due to a lack of bidders. The affected routes include No.252 Krasnyy Oktyabr to Kurgan, No.255 Vvedenka to Ketovo, No.507 Sanatorium Sosnovaya Roshcha to Kurgan, and No.512 Ust-Uyskoye to Kurgan.
Despite the competition failure for some routes, the competition for the servicing of inter-municipal bus route No.101 Shadrinsk to Pogorelka will proceed, as only one application was submitted. The details of the competition, including the application process and the criteria for evaluation, can be found on the department's website.
It is worth noting that buses of small and medium classes will operate on these routes. The competition is being held at non-regulated fares.
For those interested in the competition, it is recommended to consult the official Kurgan Oblast government website or transport department, regional transport administration announcements, or local municipal news outlets for the latest updates. Additionally, public procurement or tender platforms where transport service contests are usually published in Russia may also provide useful information.
Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, no publicly available details, route listings, or application deadlines for inter-municipal bus route competitions in Kurgan Oblast were found in the sources provided.
The competition for the servicing of inter-municipal bus routes in Kurgan Oblast is still accepting applications for the remaining routes. The competition lots are: Vvedenka to Ketovo (56.2 km), Vargashinsky CP to Kurgan Bus Station (167 km), Kurgan to Oshurkovo (147.7 km), and Krasnyy Oktyabr to Kurgan (60 km).
The Department of Economic Development of Kurgan Oblast encourages potential bidders to submit their applications before the deadline to ensure a successful competition for all routes.
