The transport unions (Fenatrano, Conatra and Mochotran) have presented the Transport Reorganization Office (OPRET) director Diandino Pena with their first proposal. The transport unions are proposing a subsidy on fares for students, the elderly and public workers. At the same time the unions have asked the government to cease their smear campaign and have also asked that from now on all meetings between the government and the transport unions be recorded to assure transparency in the negotiations.
The three transport unions' leaders have stated that recent studies by the government confirm the unions' claims that there has been a decrease in the quality of public transport and an increase in prices, which the unions say they can't sustain.
