The Technical Office for Ground Transportation (OTTT) has indicated that they will carry out their traditional check on vehicular conditionotires and so forth. Now under the same aegis of their "Zero Accidents for Passenger Transport," they will also check the emotional state of the drivers and the attitude of the men and women that transport passengers to and from the beaches and recreation areas for Easter Week.
The program, set to begin today 19 April and continue until Thursday 21 April, calls for inspecting 56 public transport routes that the OTTT supervises in and out of Santo Domingo, and that use 2,000 vehicles.
What makes this inspection different is that this year the OTTT will monitor all of the inter-provincial routes as well, making this a truly national effort.
70 inspectors have been assigned to the major passenger stations, such as Duarte and 27 of February in the National District, Enriquillo Park and the surrounding area, Kilometer 9 on the Duarte Highway and the Caribe Tours and Metro bus stations.
The inspectors will check tire pressure and condition, the condition of the vehicle, passenger service levels and the emotional state of the drivers, and watch out for vehicle overbooking, as reported in Diario Libre.
