Wednesday, August 31, 2011

In order to ease congestion of traffic coming from the East, a bus terminal will be built, which will be able to receive 2 million passengers per month.

Buses coming from that area will not have to go into the city, helping to improve traffic conditions in the capital, especially in rush hours.

Julio Montes, legal adviser for Central Services said in an article in elperiodico.com.gt that "we are already working with 35 suburban bus companies so that they use the central and not come into the city."
