Ilsur Metshin: “The new director of the PATP №4 took a strong enterprise”

(KZN.RU, November 27, Alsu Safina). Today, Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, introduced the new director of the PATP №4 on the Business Monday. It was Airat Iskhakov, who previously worked as deputy manager of the Executive Committee.

I. Metshin noted that Nail Sadriev, the former head of the enterprise, remains to help the new director in the position of advisor.

According to the Mayor, the PATP №4 is one of the main enterprises in the field of public transport, which has a glorious tradition. Recently, the company celebrated its 55th anniversary. “In the difficult 90s, when there was little government support, the company was able to preserve not only the share of participation in the transport market but also the collective”, said the Mayor. “At present, the PATP №4 controls almost a quarter of public transport on the market. Airat Iskhakov took a strong enterprise. But this is an industry that requires daily attention because it is connected with the population”. Ilsur Metshin also noted that public transport is one of the priority areas of the urban economy.

“The adviser is close, the experience behind his shoulders is sufficient. We wish him successful effective work”, said the Mayor.
