Two of the leading public transport unions, Conatra and Mochotran, have announced cuts of RD$5 to their fares on urban routes and up to RD$20 on inter-urban routes.
The transport associations agreed that drivers of vehicles using diesel and propane gas (LPG) have had considerable operational cost savings that they will now begin to pass on to passengers.
Conatra president, Antonio Marte said that there would be no changes in the fares charged by vehicles that use natural gas, as its price has not decreased.
This means Greater Santo Domingo fares on routes operated by Conatra and Mochotran affiliates will be reduced by RD$5. Conatra routes Santo Domingo to Higuey will cost RD$15 less, Santo Domingo-Pedernales RD$10 less, and Santo Domingo-Villa Altagracia RD$5 less.
