Public transport has also been completely shut down due to the risk of infection due to the coronavirus.
Motoconchos with corona-resistant solution
The public taxis transported four people in the back and two people next to the driver, so the customers were more or less on top of each other.
The quaquas, the small vans, were always packed full of passengers.
The man who collected the money often hung outboard.
The motor taxis, the so-called motoconchos, often carried two to three passengers.
That is all now while the corona crisis lasts, strictly forbidden.
But the motoconchos have come up with a creative solution: a plexiglass divider between driver and passenger.
Only one passenger can and may be transported at a time.
Dominicans are always creative with solutions, as it turns out again.
