Daily life in Rio de Janeiro
The government of Mayor Eduardo Paes comes to an end on December 31, 2016 and one of his main promises of election campaign has not been fulfilled. He had guaranteed that by the end of 2016 the entire fleet of municipal public transportation buses would have air-conditioned. The year ends, and more than 30% of the fleet is not air-conditioned. Many buses are in poor condition and in the coming days, the new mayor (Marcelo Crivela) will set new tariffs for the service. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, December 30, 2016. (Photo by Luiz Souza/NurPhoto)
