RIO DE JANEIRO  Public transit vans like the one in which 
an American student was gang raped last month were banned Thursday from 
Rio de Janeiro's touristy South Zone neighborhoods.The measure was floated 
late last year as a way to help ease the city's chronic 
traffic jams but gained urgency as a safety measure in the wake 
of the March 30 attack on the American woman and her French 
companion, who were attacked by a van driver and two other young 
men who brutalized them for about six hours inside the vehicle.Under a 
decree published Thursday in the local government's Official Journal, the 
vans will be prohibited from operating in high-rent neighborhoods including 
Ipanema and Leblon beaches, as well as Copacabana, where the two foreigners 
boarded the van to travel to a nightlife hotspot in downtown. Exceptions 
will be made for vans serving two "favela" hillside slums sandwiched between 
high-rent South Zone neighborhoods, according to the decree, which takes 
effect on Monday.Without the vans and with a key metro station closed 
pending the extension of the subway, residents and workers in the South 
Zone will need to rely on buses, taxis and private vehicles to 
get around.The 12-seat vans are seen as a quicker alternative to buses 
and largely travel the same routes. They will continue to ply the 
poor, sprawling suburbs that ring this city of 6 million.Thursday's decree 
was the second safety regulation for public vans put in place since 
the
aid. If one goes offline, 
others fail. Employees don't even have fuses, said Lara. "They have to 
cobble together their own to keep things running.""There's no money to buy 
parts for something that breaks," said Giovanni Rinaldi, a 15-year employee 
at a hydroelectric plant in the eastern city of Ciudad Guayana, which 
he said is plagued by four or five power outages a week 
despite being in the region that generates more than 70 percent of 
Venezuela's electricity.He was fired this week after posting photos on Twitter 
of a state utility company vehicle plastered with Maduro campaign material."We 
had put our own money into keeping those vehicles running because the 
company didn't," Rinaldi, a 40-year-old father of two, said by phone. "It's 
not right."The government hasn't adequately spent to expand and strengthen 
the power grid, critics say.They also blame problems on Cuban, Iranian and 
Uruguayan technicians brought in to run by Chavez to run the system. 
Accidents are up tenfold, and there are places in remote states that 
suffer outages for as long as three to five days, says Lara.Maduro, 
who was sworn in as interim president the day of Chavez's funeral, 
promises better performance but blames the recent surge in outages on sabotage 
by sympathizers of his challenger Sunday, opposition leader Henrique Capriles.The 
government has "militarized" the electric grid and said Tuesday that at 
least 17 alleged saboteurs have been detained but offered n
