According to the drivers, the reason for the protest is that the fee for the ticket payment to use the service was not increased. Thus, the price of the Soacha-Bogotá corridor remained at prices of 2,100 pesos for the journey by urban bus.
The municipal government’s decision did not sit well with drivers who, without authorization and to the disgust of users, they had increased the rate by 400 pesos to charge 2,500 per ticket.
