OZ KOVO considers it necessary to look for long-term sustainable solutions in the social dialogue between trade unions, carriers and the VÚC – as customers of suburban bus transport, in such a way as to increase the overall attractiveness of this sector also for young people coming to the labour market.

- revision of Act No. 462/2008 Coll. on the organization of working time in transport with the aim of reconciling personal and professional life
- education reform, allowing for the acquisition of a driving licence as part of the education
- changes in the remuneration system for the aim of fair wages
- intensifying social dialogue in order to increase the attractiveness of the profession:
