Transport chaos increases petrol consumption

[NewsWhore]

Engineer Hamlet Hermann, who was the first director of the Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET), comments that the 29% increase in fuel consumption compared to last year has contributed to the increase in bottlenecks and traffic jams. He criticized public opinion formers for failing to focus on the fact that the increase in fuel consumption can be traced to the government's failure to collectivize public transport. He criticizes the media for not saying that every day there are more blackouts and mobility in urban zones has declined by 28%. "Why not admit, for example, that the average speed of vehicles traveling on Av. Maximo Gomez is 25% slower after the urban train known as the Metro was built? Why not confess that negligence on the part of the transport authorities is what has perpetuated chaos while the government officials who are builders accumulate a disgusting amount of wealth?

Hermann said that it is getting more difficult to move around the city by the day because of the lack of authority that prevails.
