Kim Kataguiri: Another point I need to stress refers to the weakening of the authorization model currently used by ANTT.
Kim Kataguiri: App-based bus transport, especially interstate, which has a very different design from municipal services, operates under an authorization regime.
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.
Kim Kataguiri: In my assessment, this is a model that contributes to breaking a transport system that today is less predictable, with higher fares and lower-quality buses than those currently provided by apps.
