OMSA abandons Maximo Gomez route

[NewsWhore]

The governmental bus line, OMSA will no longer serve the Maximo Gomez north-south route in Santo Domingo. The director of the Metropolitan Bus Service Office, Ignacio Ditren said that buses would no longer run from Villa Mella to the Centro de los Heroes, along Maximo Gomez Avenue. He said that this responds to a request made by the Metro Office (Opret) that says the route is now served by the Metro, which charges a RD$20 fare, compared to RD$10 for the bus route. Ditren has warned that the OMSA bus service could disappear because of lack of funding for importing much-needed buses.
