Spokesmen for leading transport associations told the government yesterday that they are instructing their members to refrain from paying the fees being charged for license plate renewals. Rates for vehicles that are 10 years old or more have only been increased by RD$300; but minibus drivers, cargo truck owners and owners of vehicles dated from 2004 to present are being asked to pay hefty tax increases. Bus license renewal rates range from RD$3,000 to RD$43,800. Transport Unions Conatra, CNTU, Cambita, Mochotran and Consetran told El Nacional that they would not pay the fees. They said they would set their position in an upcoming meeting with the government, saying that they want the government to establish better rates for public transport service providers.
