The authority assured that it will maintain surveillance operations to ensure compliance with the law and protect citizens' wallets. The regional director, Humberto Harris, warned that any additional charge beyond the established fare is a punishable offense. He noted that drivers who engage in this practice risk fines and even the cancellation of their operating certificate. The official reiterated that there is no official approval for fare adjustments at this time, and therefore urged citizens not to be affected by improper charges and to report any anomalies. Users who detect illegal increases can file complaints directly at the ATTT offices in Colón, so that the corresponding sanctions can be applied.
