As of tomorrow, Wednesday 26 November 2014, fares for passengers on suburban and inter-urban routes will decrease by between RD$10 and RD$15, especially in public transport vehicles that use fuel that is subsidized by the government.
The agreement was reached at a meeting held yesterday, Monday 24 November 2014, between representatives of the Ground Transport Office (OTTT) and a group of transport unions headed by Conatra president Antonio Marte, Alfredo Pulinario Linares from Mochotran, and Juan Marte of the CNTT.
Although the transport sector representatives are still complaining that they are not being compensated for their losses, they agreed on the price decrease to ease the price the general public had to pay for fares.
