The director general of the Metropolitan Transit Authority (AMET) told reporters that he needs 4,000 people in order to do the job. General Jose Sigfrido Fernandez Fadul said that for example, Samana has no AMET presence in spite of the huge surge in tourism in the area. According to Hoy, there are currently 1,200 men and women wearing the AMET green uniforms. Fernandez Fadul said that as soon as the Metropolitan Bus Service (OMSA) takes over the routes in Santo Domingo and Santiago, he would need a minimum of 800 more officers. He pointed out the fact that when the National Police was responsible for traffic control, 4,000 men and women were assigned to the task.
