CHOFERES AMENAZAN CON SUBIR EL PASAJE POR EL DÓLAR FLEXIBLE

The Bolivian Confederation of Drivers' Unions issued the warning that millions of passengers feared. Its general secretary, Víctor Tarqui, asserted that the new flexible exchange rate for the dollar will severely impact the public transportation sector because it will drive up the price of spare parts and imported products. He described the moment as "one of the most difficult for the country's economy" and said that the rise in the currency will increase operating costs to the point of making vehicle maintenance unsustainable. Tarqui questioned the "drastic magnitude" of the exchange rate adjustment and warned that if costs continue to escalate, the sector will have no other option but to negotiate a fare adjustment. "When spare parts go up, we're going to have to talk about an adjustment," he stated, leaving the door open to a possible fare hike that would directly impact the wallets of public transportation users. #TeLoCuentaVictorHugo #Bolivia #paratiiiiiii #viral_viral_viral #FYP
