The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) will include both for the user subsidy as well as for compensation to formal and informal transporters, we heard from a source close to the process.

The source of "Notícias Online" assured, however, that the informals should be formalized.

"We are working in that direction, we need to bring the informal people into the formal sector so that they are part of the mechanisms that are planned," said the Executive source.

"Action is underway to ensure formalization in an expeditious manner of informal operators to be covered by the measure," he stressed.

Meanwhile, the semi-collectivos on the routes from Praça do Combatentes - Anjo Voador and Bobole are still not operating, alleging that they are not included in the compensations announced yesterday by the Government.
