If we look at the positive, in 2020, we successfully integrated 1,300 vehicles into the system, which will help improve operations. Today we have 259 electric buses in the city, and last year 1105 additional buses were allocated (…) when we mobilized the least, 700,000 were transported per day, and we were successful in getting them to enter the system in an orderly fashion at the most critical point of contagion.
