“Last week we had two meetings. One in the Ministry of Transportation and the other in the Vice Presidency of Public Works. What we want is for these dialogues to become realities, because it makes no sense that in a country with such an extensive public service, we dialogue and do not reach a concrete and tangible agreement. The situation of these dialogues touched on all the issues that have to do with public transport. Like fuel, fare, the implementation of the VeTicket, and all those situations that are affecting us », he said.
Trocel called for the subsidized fuel for public transport to be guaranteed and for the agreements reached at service stations to be respected.
