Fuel Tanker Trucks Prevent Riot Police From Opening Road in Pacora

In Pacora bus drivers are demanding better compensation. The road has been closed since 6 am. More than five hours have passed since the bus drivers on the routes to Pacora closed the Inter American Highway near the bridge over the Pacora river. The drivers are demanding that the agreement they had with the ATTT be satisfied, which says that the Metrobus system will rift gold not be implemented in Pacora or Felipillo. This action comes because a few days ago the company installed the new Metrobus signs at the bus stops in the village of Pacora, violating the agreement they had signed earlier. After an hour of dialog with the drivers, it was agreed they would send a commission formed by President of the group, Idaira de Leon, and other bus owners to the Ground Transit and Transportation Authority, where they were invited by the director Ricardo Fabrega, to address the situation. While this Committee is talking to Fabrega, the rest of the drivers are keeping the road closed while awaiting for a response. At this time all four lanes of the Inter American highway remain closed at Pacora. Two gasoline tanker trucks are caught in the closure,rift gold and this is one reason why the riot police have been unable to clear the road. For the time being they are waiting for a response.
