Sounds too good to be true. Computer translation:
The National Institute of Traffic and Inland Transportation (INTRANT) is taking its steps to liberate the main avenues and main thoroughfares of the city of Santo Domingo from public cars and provide them with a mass transportation of passengers based on buses and minibuses, whose circulation will be Duly regulated.
The signaling was made with the executive director of Intrant, engineer Claudia Franchesca de los Santos, who said that public cars will circulate in outlying streets of the city.
The measure will be implemented prior to agreement with the carriers operating passenger transport routes that are already creating the carriers.
The official spoke during a visit to the director of El Nacional, Bolívar Díaz Gómez, and stated that the buses will be driven by people who do not pass the 65 years of age, to ensure the safety of passengers.
He said that the Intrant will pay special attention to the frequencies of the arrival of the buses to the stops, to avoid that the passengers have to wait a long time to approach.
The measure is part of the actions contemplated in Law 63-17, on Mobility, Land Transport, Traffic and Road Safety, promulgated in February this year.
"Intrant guarantees that the majority will be favored by this law," he said.
The official said that the law is to protect the population in a general sense and that President Danilo Medina has been clear in establishing that the goal is that all sectors benefit.
He pointed out that the dependency in charge is in conversation with all the sectors involved in giving back to the traffic transit system the efficiency, order and safety that it merits.
He clarified that the Intrant will not attack against the livelihood of the people who make a living in front of a flyer and assured that that body will not take their routes to anyone, but will regulate them.
"President Danilo Medina established that everyone who has his route remains with his right, that in no way he would submit to bid for routes that already had their owners or operators," he said.
In that regard, he indicated that he has held meetings with the leaders of the unions that operate the urban and interurban passenger transport, as well as the organizations that group the taxi drivers.
He said that the new law contemplates the "deschatarrización" of the public transport of passengers, in a city where 53 percent of the vehicular park has 23 years of use.
He indicated that it is a decision of the national authorities to remove from the streets the public vehicles that do not present any conditions to operate, due to the state of deterioration in which they are.
He stated that the organizations that operate passenger transport are aware of the scope of the new law and are taking internal measures to comply with it.
He highlighted among the scope of legislation, the completion of physical exams to all people interested in obtaining a driver's license.
They will be psychological examinations, sight, hearing, among others, that guarantee the good physical and mental state of the driver.
