I saw that same information published in "Listin Diario" during my first trip here in 1986!!!!
EVERY time a new Police Chief is "Crowned" he just dusts off the original declaration and changes the dates, and names.

The ONLY chief who can actually do what he says he will do, is Chandalier!!!
And the "Transport Unions", including the "Cocho Drivers" won't allow him the be "Chief"!!!!

If I had a peso for every time a government official promised a "Mano Duro" about ANYTHING, I would be "RICO"!!!!

This time will be NO DIFFERENT!!!!!

Exactly, this report appears almost verbatim every 2 to 4 years, and within days of any horrifically fatal accident such as the Boca Chica bound guagua that took a dive off Las Americas highway just east of the AMET cuartel (I know, sad irony). I would be so happy to see Criss Colon proven wrong on this one but I think there is a better chance of Juan Pablo Duarte rising from his tomb and walking up the Conde.

Yes Yesss !!! finally someone is bringing a change!!

wow this is such great news!!!

This has been a long time coming! Great great news!

i have no interests in any pronouncements from a government that allows a pickup truck to be licensed as a public passenger vehicle. as i said before, i can understand a guy getting a ride in a pickup bed , but to allow the driver to charge for it is lunacy.

Try Guatemala, they are called Chivos and as many as 15 people stand in the pick up as it goes over dirt roads. They have to have a railing at shoulder height though .

in the DR, there is no form of protection whatsoever. a good swerve and guys and dolls will be on the pavement.
