Transport rates drop

Following the appreciation of the peso that has led to significant reductions in the price of fuel, the transport unions have announced reductions in their fares. CONATRA, the nation’s largest union, announced it would drop its fares from RD$10 to RD$8 for inter-city rides, and RD$5 from inter-urban rides. Similarly, he said that radio taxis would also soon drop their fares by RD$10, amounting to RD$90 per inter-city ride.
