Transport

Motoconchos made their debut in Dominican Republic in the 1980s , and since then, the scooters have become a common form of transportation, standing in as taxis in residential areas that have limited access to carros públicos and buses.

These two-wheeled vehicles are essential to many in the D.R. For some, driving a motorcycle cab means a second paycheck, and for others, it’s a cheaper way to get around the island. According to El Nuevo Diario, the former vice-president of the Dominican Revolutionary Party, has defended drivers, who he believes deserve recognition for providing an indispensable service.
