Honduras's transport operators ruled out a strike during the upcoming Morazán holiday week but warned they will call an extraordinary assembly to consider measures if the government does not schedule talks within two weeks to address rising fuel costs and operational expenses.

Two congressional commissions have established a working group with transport-sector representatives and government agencies to analyze the impact of fuel-price increases and seek measures to ease the burden on Hondurans.

A congressional transport commission met with operators nationwide to explore mechanisms for converting transport units, aiming to reduce operational costs and improve conditions for the sector.

Congress set up a technical committee to address transport-sector concerns over rising fuel and parts costs, delayed operating permits, and insecurity, with lawmakers exploring options including possible fuel-tax cuts and remote work arrangements.

Transport leader Wilmer Cálix said the sector will not hold a nationwide strike on Monday despite rising fuel costs, though some drivers in San Pedro Sula and the north are considering protest actions if the government does not address operational expenses.

Taxi-stand operators announced an end to nationwide protests and agreed to work with Congress on a digital platform and regulatory reforms, with lawmakers pledging dialogue on licensing and competition from illegal services.
