Recently, he has been in the news for rejecting proposed transportation fare increases in Guayaquil, arguing that the proposals lack a technical basis and do not account for rising operational costs, particularly the increase in diesel prices. Onofre has called for a comprehensive study to assess the actual needs of transporters, emphasizing that the current fare structure would not sustain the sector amid ongoing financial losses.
