Kim Kataguiri: And, unfortunately, the project ends up further rigidifying the existing structure and benefiting those who already operate public transport today, instead of opening space for new actors to enter the market or, moreover, strengthening the oversight and control institutions so that this type of organized crime activity in public transport ceases to exist.
Kim Kataguiri: Another point I need to stress refers to the weakening of the authorization model currently used by ANTT.
App-based bus transport, especially interstate, which has a very different design from municipal services, operates under an authorization regime.
Kim Kataguiri: Moreover, the STF has already ruled in two ADIs and considered the authorization regime constitutional.
Kim Kataguiri: The text ends that regime and requires, at minimum, a permit — something that ANTT does not currently require for this transport, especially for interstate bus apps.
