The lack of spare parts and spare parts "turns" Venezuela's trucks into buses

Aug. 16, 2017
The shortage of supplies and the high price of spare parts for buses in Venezuela has caused public transport lines to be increasingly covered by cargo trucks with open trailers in the city of Maracaibo. Buses are also replaced by vans, pickups and other types of vehicles with the capacity to transport passengers. From sparepartsdelcamion.com we also warn that this service, carried out by individuals, is highly dangerous for passengers.
The lack of spare parts and spare parts "turns" Venezuela's trucks into buses

Although the authorities are not authorizing the irregular truck-bus service, which began on the route between Maracaibo and the Guajira subregion, users who need transportation use it despite the fact that it poses a security problem   

 and robberies and traffic accidents have already been detected. A user of this means of survival transport confessed to the local digital media "Panorama":  "Trucks are not prepared to transport passengers, they are very unsafe and we put our lives at risk. But we have no choice but to use them because they do not there is no alternative to move". he added.

An added problem for the citizens of Maracaibo is that truck-bus drivers do not respect the "official" prices and charge what they want, especially at night. Until now, the city authorities, although they recognize the existence of the problem, have not yet implemented any type of measure to solve it. From the Municipal Institute of Collective and Urban Transport of Maracaibo (Imtcuma) they insist that the trucks "do not have permission to circulate carrying passengers because they do not comply with the regulations, such as those of security for the passage" 

Fortunately, in Spain we do not have this type of problem, because it is easy to be able to acquire spare parts for trucks or buses, coaches and all kinds of freight and passenger transport vehicles on websites with prices as competitive as recambiosdelcamion.com.And also because here the trucks have their papers in order and have many options to store them and always have them at hand, such as the exterior document holder for trucks,  which now We have an offer at recambiosdelcamion.com, with a 30% discount.
