Public transport in Venezuela today

One of the causes of the shortage of public transport in Venezuela is the lack of cash, the scarcity of spare parts and high maintenance costs. People are in need of endless lines to move to their jobs, their homes or a specific destination. For this reason they have had to enable transfer trucks, popularly known as "kennels", such trucks are the same inhabitants of the cities that lend themselves to earn some money and to provide the service to other people, all this is done to face the shortage of transportation in the nation. It is important to know that this type of transport is unsafe, since there are many people who get on a daily basis and some go on the cherry to get to their destination and that is when different types of accidents occur. According to figures from the National Assembly (AN), since this system was enabled, 55 people have died.
According to representatives of the transporters' union, the responsibility for the crisis is attributable to the national government that eliminated subsidies, stopped investing in the sector and created programs that do not keep functioning over time.

Not only have accidents been seen in these new routes, but also that more money is spent, because they do not make the complete journey; Some make three stops: for example, they start in the west of Barquisimeto until the shopping center called Metrolopolis and until there they charge a ticket, they lower the passengers and another one goes up to the center of the city charging another ticket, and to get to the east of the city is another passage. This leads to more poverty because the little salary that is earned leaves almost everything in the tickets, and this is one of the causes of job abandonment by people because it is not enough to talk. Truly what is lived in Venezuela is total chaos.
For this reason, in the face of the crisis, transporters demand that the Venezuelan government release them from the regulations or that they subsidize the service, both to them and to the user and also argue that if the authorities want to help the people, they should help the transporters because it is they who "burden" the people.
