Officials say that 102 new OMSA buses will arrive in the DR by late August or early September. The government had delayed its payment arrangements with Mercedes Benz-Brazil so they were not shipped to the DR as planned. Last week Hacienda Minister Vicente Bengoa announced that the government had approved a line of credit which would permit the OMSA to get the new buses. OMSA director Ignacio Ditren has said that without the new buses, the OMSA system, which gives passengers the cheapest option for public transport, would have collapsed. Ditren said that 80 of the new buses would be used in Santo Domingo and the rest would be used in Santiago.
