The union leader Juan Carlos Sánchez of the transporters union reacted angrily to social media announcements that a ride from Sosúa to Puerto Plata now costs 100 pesos.
But a ride now costs 85 pesos.
Indeed an increase from 60 to 85 pesos.
But that is fair because fewer passengers can now be transported due to the risk of contamination.
The union leader believed malicious people are behind these messages.
The union received a lot of angry reactions from residents who were outraged by the price increase to 100 pesos.
But the announced price increase to 85 pesos will be maintained during the crisis.
