The municipal leaders of Otepää, Törva and Valga wrote to the minister. They want to change the schedule of trains running between Tartu and Valga. The new schedule is bad for residents.
With the old schedule, the train arrived in Tartu before nine. Now the train arrives only at 11.25. This is too late.
People now have to travel by car. Driving a car is more expensive and more dangerous. Children can no longer travel by train.
The municipal leaders want the old schedule back. The minister says he understands the problem. He will meet with the municipal leaders and look for a solution.
The ministry says they are monitoring the situation. They are ready to change the schedule if necessary. They want to help the residents of the region.
