Chamber approves new rules for road transport authorization

The Chamber of Deputies approved this Wednesday (15th) a proposal that changes the rules for the authorization of regular service lines for interstate and international passenger transport by road, requiring a minimum share capital of R$ 2 million. As it was modified by the deputies, the matter returns for analysis by the Senate.

The text provides that the authorization will depend on proof, by the service operator, of accessibility, safety and technical, operational and economic capacity requirements of the company, to be considered in proportion to the specification of the service, in accordance with Executive Power regulations.

According to the matter, there will continue to be no limit on the number of authorizations for this regular service, but, in addition to the exception of operational infeasibility, cases of technical and economic infeasibility are included.

The substitute revokes the inspection fee charged by the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT), in the amount of R$ 1.8 thousand per year and per bus registered by the company holding an authorization or permission granted by the agency. In the case of charter buses, which provide non-regular transport services, the sale of ticket will be prohibited.
