Intrant taking vehicles off the road
The National Institute for Transit and Terrestrial Transport (Intrant) has begun to take public transport vehicles off the road that do not meet the new regulations and guarantee the safety of the users.
During an operation carried out by the Department of Supervision and Control of Sanctions (DSCS) of Intrant, vehicles were confiscated at kilometer 9 of the Duarte Highway and at the intersection of Maximo Gomez with San Martin. The impounded vehicles did not have proper authorization to operate for public transport as the law says that Intrant and the City Halls have to authorize inter urban vehicles according to the type of services, needs, geographic conditions and the demand for the service, always guaranteeing the safety of the passenger.
The vehicles have to be the property of the operators or they need to hold a document where the driver is authorized to use the vehicle for public transport.
The president of the National Union of Unified Transport Owners (CNTU), William Pérez Figuereo, warned that Intrant was obligated to take action, noting the high number of ramshackle vehicles in the fleet.
Intrant also announced the changing of transit direction of several roads in the Naco neighborhood to reduce traffic bottlenecks.
