1,500 minibuses for feeder routes

The government will import 1,500 minibuses to serve passengers on feeder routes of the six main bus routes or corridors being installed. The 26-passenger minibuses will replace 2,300 dilapidated minibuses and microbuses that circulate today on city streets. The government plans to purchase the vehicles from the present bus operators/owners. The purchase price will serve as the down payment for these to acquire the new units. The first feeder routes will serve passengers needing transport along the Avenida Tiradentes, from Cristo Rey to Centro de los Heroes, passing through the Universidad Aut?noma de Santo Domingo; and the N??ez de C?ceres, down to the Independencia Avenue.
