Hacienda Minister Vicente Bengoa has announced the authorization of a US$20 million line of credit in order for the government to cover the costs of 102 new OMSA buses. The buses are currently stuck in Brazil. Bengoa did not say when the new public transport vehicles would be arriving in the DR. The new buses would provide a much-needed boost for the OMSA bus system. Currently, half of the system's buses are in terrible condition and many fear that the OMSA system could collapse without the injection of new buses. Last week Mercedes Benz Brazil began to penalize the Dominican government for delays in issuing the line of credit. Although this line of credit is for 102 buses, the total order is for 300 buses.
