Government gives Bonogas cards

Yesterday, the government began to hand out Bonagas cards to more than 14,000 public transport drivers. The gas cards will allow the drivers to purchase RD$3,420 worth of subsidized gas, or 52 gallons each month. El Caribe writes that the subsidized fuel could translate to cheaper fares for passengers. The government will be spending RD$200 million per month on subsidizing the program.
