BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazil's presidential chief of staff, Rui Costa, said on Wednesday the government has no plans to eliminate public transport fares nationwide this year or next, a day after the finance minister had confirmed studies to assess ways to finance the sector.
"There is nothing planned for next year or this year," Costa said in a local radio interview. "I want to make this clear: the president only requested studies."
