It appears the government has come up with a way to start fazing these transport unions out. They've increased the price of fuel but at the same time they are refusing to allow the drivers/public transportation companies to increase the fare. Am I correct when I say this or am I missing something?
OMSA has started running a bus route on Abraham Lincoln, and the conchos are going nuts over it.
They say they've "owned" that route for over 20 years.
most of carros publicos are running on LPG. large trucks use petrol. which is subsidized by the government. which gets nothing in return because drivers do not pay taxes, they do not pay traffic fines and many do not even have a drivers licence. it's all fun.
