Perdas no transporte intermunicipal no sul da Colômbia superam 4 bilhões de pesos

O transporte intermunicipal no sudoeste da Colômbia registrou perdas superiores a 4 bilhões de pesos em quatro dias devido a uma queda de 40% na demanda. Cali lidera os impactos com 42.937 usuários a menos e 2,576 bilhões de pesos em prejuízos. A Asociación para el Desarrollo Integral del Transporte Terrestre Intermunicipal (Aditt) alerta para uma crise que ameaça a viabilidade do setor.

A Asociación para el Desarrollo Integral del Transporte Terrestre Intermunicipal (Aditt) informou que, em quatro dias, 79.483 passageiros deixaram de viajar no corredor sudoeste, representando uma retração de 40% na demanda. Essa crise afeta principalmente Cali, com 42.937 usuários a menos, seguida por Popayán (16.680), Pasto (12.968) e Ipiales (6.897).

As perdas econômicas totais superam 4 bilhões de pesos, com Cali acumulando mais de 2,576 bilhões, Popayán quase 1 bilhão, Pasto 778 milhões e Ipiales 413 milhões. A Aditt observa que essa situação coloca em risco a liquidez das empresas para pagamentos de crédito e renovações de frota.

Além disso, 7.060 viagens foram canceladas no mesmo período, agravadas por problemas nas estradas e desvios que estenderam as viagens em até 9 horas. Em 2026, até o momento, greves anteriores em Boyacá e Santander somaram 4,3 bilhões de pesos em perdas e 70.000 passageiros afetados, elevando o total para mais de 9 bilhões de pesos.

Os empresários alertam que, sem medidas urgentes para restaurar a confiança dos usuários e estabilizar as finanças, o setor enfrenta um colapso iminente.
