Conatra transport union leader Antonio Marte has told El Dia that his members will not allow the Uber service to operate in Santo Domingo. Conatra has been known to use vandalism to maintain its monopoly on public transport routes with the tacit compliance of the government. “Wherever we see a driver offering taxi service through Uber, unfortunately, we will shut the road down,” he said. “We are not going to let them operate,” said Marte.
