Thoughts
The last round was quite calm, but the city doesn't stand still. A new technology has appeared - electric buses, which is a direct threat to my bus business. Humeniuk, the owner of municipal transport, will now have new tools for competition. This makes my relationship with him even more tense. On the other hand, the appearance of solar parks might be interesting for investments, but it's not my priority right now. My relationship with Petro Onyshchenko is good, he can be a useful ally in the city council. I must protect my business from competition from municipal transport. Therefore, Bohdan Kravets' logistics hub and his potential cooperation with me are key. I should also pay attention to mentions of land issues on the embankment and the activities of Vilnyi Bereh Bank under the leadership of Larysa Ostapenko, who is conducting an audit. Perhaps this will create opportunities for me, or vice versa, risks. I want to meet with Bohdan Kravets to discuss common interests and counter municipal transport. I also plan to talk with Petro Onyshchenko to secure his support.
Options
- Meet with Bohdan Kravets to discuss the logistics hub and common interests.
- Meet with Petro Onyshchenko to discuss countering municipal transport and supporting my business.
- Send a request to the city council regarding plans for the development of municipal transport and electric buses.
- Invest in solar parks using new technology.
Choice. Meeting with Bohdan Kravets is the highest priority, as his logistics hub can become a platform for cooperation against municipal transport. The second step will be a meeting with Petro Onyshchenko for support in the city council.
Diary. The appearance of electric buses is a serious challenge. We need to act quickly. First and foremost - a meeting with Bohdan Kravets, his logistics hub can become our common platform. Then - with Onyshchenko, to get support in the council. We need to act decisively to save our business.

10 days have passed again, and I'm still in the same boat. The main competitor, Humeniuk, is increasing the capacity of municipal transport, and I only have 4 million UAH. My secret about unofficial drivers and understated revenue is a time bomb that could explode at any moment, especially with all these audits and inspections they write about in the newspaper. Even the mayor has started talking about transparency. This worries me. I have to do something to keep my routes. Bohdan Kravets and his logistics hub are my chance. He seems like a businessman too, we can find common ground. I need to meet and discuss how we can cooperate mutually beneficially. It's also worth looking into "Lytvyn-Khim" and Hryhorii Lytvyn. He also seems to have influence, and perhaps his "Contract of Justice" could be beneficial to me, especially if it's related to Kravets' documents. And then there's this urban planner, Sofiia Melnyk, and her "Green Embankment" – although it doesn't directly concern minibuses, all these audits of coastal areas could affect other businesses, including mine, if it somehow impacts transport infrastructure...
Options
- Meet with Bohdan Kravets to discuss possible cooperation on the logistics hub.
- Contact Hryhorii Lytvyn to discuss his "Contract of Justice" and potential cooperation.
- Talk to Pavlo Humeniuk to try to negotiate a division of spheres of influence or find out his plans for municipal transport.
- Contact Sofiia Melnyk to learn about her plans for "Green Embankment" and potential risks to business.
Choice. The most promising option is to meet with Bohdan Kravets. His logistics hub could be a chance for my business, and he seems like someone I can negotiate with.
Diary. Today, I decided to focus on Bohdan Kravets and his logistics hub. This could be my chance to find an ally and strengthen my market position, especially in the context of the growth of municipal transport. I plan to initiate a meeting to discuss potential cooperation. Humeniuk and his electric buses are a serious threat, but for now, Kravets seems like a better...

Another 10 days have passed, and I'm still here, on my own wavelength. Humeniuk with his trolleybuses is becoming more dangerous, especially with these new electric buses that are supposed to appear soon. I need to do something to strangle him before he strangles me. It's been quiet with Kravets lately, but his logistics hub is another potential opportunity. I should talk to him, maybe we'll find common ground. Lytvyn also seems to be up to something with his factory, but that doesn't bother me as much yet. The main thing is my routes, my market share. I need to keep my finger on the pulse. These new city government programs about the embankment, land solutions - that's all good, but I need concrete actions that will affect my business here and now. These are my expenses, my risk, but it's part of my strategy. For now, I don't see the need for public statements, it's better to focus on specific agreements.
Options
- Meet with Bohdan Kravets to discuss potential cooperation on his logistics hub.
- Send a request to the city council regarding plans for the development of municipal transport, especially regarding the introduction of electric buses.
- Conduct an internal check of my drivers and documentation to minimize risks associated with unofficial employment.
- Do nothing this round, observe the development of events.
Choice. I choose to meet with Bohdan Kravets. His logistics hub is a potential opportunity for cooperation that can benefit my business and help counter municipal transport.

Thoughts
New move, new challenges. The transport situation is worsening, especially with the prospect of electric buses. Humeniuk, my long-time opponent, will surely take advantage of this. I need to strengthen my position, perhaps by cooperating with other businessmen. Kravets and his logistics hub are an interesting opportunity; I've planned to meet him twice, but it never happened. Maybe now is the time. Lytvyn is also mentioned in my memory, although there were no direct contacts with him. His "Contract of Justice" might be related to my drivers, whom I'm informally employing. The newspaper "Chronicle 2046" is actively raising issues about the embankment and development, which doesn't directly concern my business yet, but could affect the general climate in the city. I need to act cautiously but decisively. My main goal is to preserve existing routes and perhaps find new development paths by exploiting competitors' weaknesses.

- Initiate a meeting with Bohdan Kravets to discuss cooperation on the logistics hub.
- Contact Hryhorii Lytvyn to learn about his "Contract of Justice" and possible cooperation.

Diary. Meeting with Kravets is a priority. His logistics hub could be a chance for my business. I need to use this chance to find common ground and possibly gain an advantage in the fight against municipal transport. Humeniuk is a constant threat, but for now, I'm focusing on Kravets.

Thoughts
Early 2027, the city is living its life. Programs, statements, planned work. My minibuses are my bread, and I will fight for them. Humenyuk with his municipal transport, especially with future electric buses, is becoming a more serious threat. On the other hand, there are opportunities. Bohdan Kravets and his logistics center are a chance. Also, Hryhorii Lytvyn with his "Contract of Justice" is a potential ally or competitor to keep an eye on. My secret with unofficial drivers is my trump card, but also a risk. I need to act cautiously but decisively. First of all, I need to consolidate my positions, possibly through cooperation with Kravets. But I cannot forget about the fight against the municipal transport. I need to find a balance between preserving my business and possible expansion.
Options
- Meet with Bohdan Kravets to discuss his logistics center and possible cooperation.
- Meet with Hryhorii Lytvyn to discuss his "Contract of Justice" and potential cooperation.
- Contact Pavlo Humeniuk to try to reach an agreement on the city's transport policy.
- Conduct a driver check and partially legalize them to reduce risks.
Choice. I choose to meet with Bohdan Kravets, because his logistics center can be a good opportunity for me, and cooperation with him is a chance to strengthen my market position.
Diary. Early 2027. The primary task is to strengthen my position. Bohdan Kravets and his logistics center are my main chance now. I need to agree on cooperation, it can give me an advantage. Humenyuk and his municipal transport are a constant threat, but for now, Kravets is the priority.
