Greetings community Steemit ..
The deep political, economic and social crisis that Venezuela is experiencing has been characterized by directly affecting the Venezuelan on foot.
The hyperinflation, in which they have contributed, not only the Government with its erroneous Economic Policies, but also the Businessmen when fanning a Parallel Exchange Control to the officer, whose value is put by anyone without control.
This leads to the cost of vehicle parts such as tires, batteries, oils, lubricants and other parts increase almost daily, which is almost impossible to acquire due to low income of carriers.
For example: The current Urban passage in Venezuela is 5 thousand Bs (unofficial, it can vary according to the area of the country), a rubber for a transport unit (750/16 is the most common model) costs 750 Million Bolívares ( 750,000,000 Bs).
Now, suppose that a Public Transport Unit has a capacity of 50 people (including people standing), and if the ticket costs 5,000 Bs, it would be a total of 250,000 Bs, a round trip would then be 500,000 Bs.
We continue assuming: A carrier, gives about 7 trips during the day, (and may be less trips since I know very well the issue of public transport experience, you have to take into account the journey, travel time and other things) then they are 500,000 Bs x 7 = 3,500,000 Bs DAILY!
We are going to be optimistic and say that a Transporter produces about 4,000,000 Bs daily, to be able to buy a rubber, it should work 187 DAYS and a half, EYE only to buy a tire.
We are understanding ??? Ok We continue!
We know that a tire of good quality can last several years, so we can assume that they are parts or parts that are acquired in the long term. Let's talk about something more frequent like an oil change:
Currently a Liter of Oil type 20W50 for gasoline engines costs 18 Million Bolívares, an 8 Cylinder Engine carries approximately 5 liters, depending on the model, and a Filter for oil of the same engine costs 15 Million Bs, adding up to 90 Million Bs in Oil and 15 Million in Filter, would be 115,000,000 Bs, means that in order to change oil and filter to a public transport unit (which requires it monthly) a carrier must work 28 days to pay for that expense. !!
Due to this situation, hundreds of public transport units nationwide are paralyzed due to lack of tires and spare parts as their owners claim they can not maintain these units, thus affecting all Venezuelans who depend on public transportation to get there to their Works, schools, lyceums, universities, or to carry out any diligence related to their lives. !!
In view of this unfortunate situation, we Venezuelans need to opt for any means of transport possible to reach our destinations, call truck, truck, car, motorbike, Cava, pick-up trucks, rancheras and others, and even paying a higher rate, a method that puts our own lives at risk!
And meanwhile, there we go, with Faith and Hope placed in Almighty God that Venezuela will be strengthened from all this situation, but this will only happen when all the Venezuelan people turn their gaze and their trust in GOD. !!
God bless Venezuela!
