The Darboux problem for the singular hyperbolic equation \[ u_{xx} + \alpha x^{-1}u_x - u_{yy} = 0, \quad 0 < \alpha < 2, \eqno{(1)} \] is considered over the triangle bounded by two characteristics of (1) and by a piece of the axis \(0x.\) The author just constructs an explicit form of the classical solution to the above problem and thus proves its existence. Uniqueness is a simple consequence of well-known results. Note, that an elementary change of variables allows to reduce the so-called adjoint Darboux problem to one already solved in a preprint by Khe Kan Cher cited in the list of references.
