Behind the scenes of meeting Between representatives of the passenger transport sector in Santa Catarina and the State Government indicate that reaching a consensus to reactivate the service will be arduous and difficult. Making buses safer for passengers requires investments and concessions, which, for the moment, makes the restart unfeasible.
In the midst of the discussions, hypotheses were raised such that the State subsidized the tickets to compensate for the reduction in the capacity of the buses. Or, increase the value of the ticket. The price could reach R $ 10 in the Great Florianópolis. Inconceivable.
Measures such as the installation of acrylic plates for the separation of passengers, for example, were not well received due to the cost they represent.
Maintaining public transportation is one of the most delicate aspects of pandemic management. Especially in Brazil, where buses run crowded.
The option to resume service requires precautionary measures. Other states, like São Paulo, kept public transportation active. But the expanded number of cases and deaths is not a good benchmark for comparison.
In Europe, some countries have also not completely stopped public transport. But there is no way to compare the European system with ours. In Portugal, for example, companies stopped validating bus and metro tickets to reduce contagion, that is, they could travel free, without a ticket and without profit for service providers.
In Santa Catarina, the resumption of passenger transport will require planning, responsibility and concession.
