Bolivia's Santa Cruz Ground to a Halt: Bus Companies on Brink of Collapse

Santa Cruz Bus Companies Face Ruin Amid Blockades and Fuel Shortages Santa Cruz, Bolivia is experiencing a critical transportation crisis due to ongoing road blockades and a severe fuel shortage. The crisis, which has lasted six days, has crippled the city's bus companies, causing significant economic losses. One company owner, speaking anonymously, stated, "We are losing Bs 50,000 every day. We can't pay our staff or rent." The blockades, primarily in the western departments, have isolated Santa Cruz, leaving only a southern route to Tarija and other municipalities open. This has created a ripple effect, impacting the livelihoods of thousands. Many companies are now considering temporary closure. Another representative commented, "If this continues, we will have no choice but to shut down." The situation underscores the urgent need for resolution to the ongoing political issues causing the blockades and fuel shortage.
