Passengers of medium and long-distance buses denounce non-compliance with the reduction in ticket fares, supposedly by 7%, as the President of the Republic himself, Santiago Peña, had announced, with the corresponding deployment of video production on social networks .
“They do not respect the new fares. From Itauguá-Caacupé the fare remained at G. 4,300, but they still charge G. 5,0 The driver told me he didn’t know anything. That they didn’t warn him. It’s boring,” lamented user Sonia Ozuna. He questioned that earlier the fare was placed on the buses.
In the case of long distance, rates did not drop either. For example, the section from Asunción to Encarnación, although the fare is listed at G. 78,200, in reality the price exceeds G. 100,000, and after the announcement of Decree No. 876, no reduction was implemented.
Recharges. The abysmal difference between what appears in the rate readjustment decree and what long-distance transport companies charge is supposedly due to the fact that other surcharges are established for services, according to data from the National Directorate of Transportation (Dinatrán), which Strikingly, they were not widely disseminated on social networks and even less so in the Government’s propaganda video.
In the case of removed buses, the decree plus boarding fee is taken into account, for special removal: 30% of the removal rate plus boarding fee. The price of the removed differential is 50% of the rate of the removed service plus boarding tax.
The direct is 100% of the rate of the removed service plus boarding tax and the executive is 30% of the rate of the direct service plus boarding tax. From Dinatrán they allege that this data is only disseminated via WhatsApp for “personalized” responses to user complaints.
Where to report. Passengers of buses regulated by Dinatrán can make their complaints to the enabled WhatsApp number: +595 962 352235.
Generally, the procedure when the reported vehicle is moving, according to the entity, is to check how high the bus is so that an inspection unit can approach the bus. In case of irregularities, the ticket is returned and the unit is sanctioned.
