Interlínea Buses Maybe
Rolling In January 2009
Future users of the "Interlínea"
- intersectoral buses -
will have to wait until
next year.
The MOPT yesterday
informed that the delay
of the service that was
to have begun last June
is because of group of
seven bus operators have
filed objecteds to the
regulations in awarding
the concession.
Karla González, MOPT
minister, had promised
to have the buses
rolling last month, on
the basis of issuing
temporary permites while
the process of awarding
concessions continued.
However, lawyers for the
Tránsport ministry has
decided to first study
the objections presented
by the group and provide
a report to the Consejo
de Transporte Público
during the coming weeks,
stalling the issuing of
temporary permits.
González said that the
lawyers and her
officials will be
working to analyze the
objections and proposals
by the group and to
determine what if any
changes are required
which will delay the
process until at least
the end of January 2009.
The Interlínea service
was stalled days before
its commencement in June
when an appeal to the
Constitutional Court by
one of the losing
bidders put the brakes
on the project. |
