The value, which is already considered expensive by passengers, and on the one hand weighs on the family budget, also leaves the finances of companies in the sector tight.
In short, there are 18 cities served by the public transport service of the Metropolitan Region of Goiania. On average, 480,000 passengers circulate daily.
According to CDTC data, 99.5% of trips on more than 280 lines are carried out daily, as provided for in the debate contract.
With a ticket price at R$4.30 and a high degree of user dissatisfaction, this seems to be a difficult account to close.
To oppose the new ticket price is not to be strictly against the quality of the buses and/or the amount of trips available.
Resistance to the tariff increase also involves chronic infrastructure and mobility problems.
