The conflict continues between the Government of the Nation and the City of Buenos Aires for the transfer of 32 bus lines. In this regard, the Minister of Transport, Diego Giulianopointed out that the City should take charge of the service.
Yes ok the mandatary He assured that there are “agreements” so that the management of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta contributes 51% of the maintenance, Diego Giuliano He pointed out that the City still “did not accept the competition as indicated by law.”
In dialogue for Radio Con Vos, Diego Giuliano remembered: “In the first place, CABA, in January and February of last year, contributed 0 pesos to its own transportation, they were months where it did not contribute”.
And he remarked: “From this dialogue that we have carried out, what we are obtaining are agreements so that, at least, they contribute something, that they contribute a part of the support of that transport, today we are at that level”
Likewise, he maintained: “this claim is being made more and more forcefully, because there is a National Law that says that CABA must take charge of its own transportation, it is responsible for its own transportation.”
In addition, he clarified: “in any case, CABA did not accept the competition. Therefore, the stops of the city’s transport, the routes, the sections, have to be done by the Ministry of Transportation of the Nation.”
In this regard, he stressed: “Whoever says and claims their autonomy is allowing a national government to establish which are the stops, which are the frequencies, something that we have recognized that it is not up to us to do; this must be done by the transport policy of CABA”.
The minister spoke of the increases in the transport rate
