It might be in Santo Domingo East. The Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET) office in Santo Domingo East has been converted into a motorcycle warehouse. Many of the impounded bikes have been there for about a year without being claimed by their owners. Nearly 1,000 small bikes are being kept in the back yard.
Alberto Rosa and Rafael Almonte, two drivers of the ubiquitous "motoconchos", who were trying to recover their motorcycles, complained about needing to submit proof that they have helmets, driver's license, license plates, registration and insurance, and 10 copies of each document in order to get their bikes back.
Meanwhile, AMET spokesperson Miguel Medina said: "Nobody can violate Law 241, we should all use the roads with our documents up to date and the law is the same for everyone".
He pointed out that many people do not claim the bikes because they were stolen in the first place.
