"We have been providing the service since early morning, although many routes have not been able to operate due to the absence of passengers. This shows that the majority of users remain in their homes, contributing to road safety," he affirmed. The leader reaffirmed the union's commitment to the population: "There will be no increase in the price of tickets. Our goal is to guarantee the service without affecting the economy of the users." In addition, he recalled that any available G-12 vehicle can be used to ensure the continuity of transportation nationwide.
