Haiti - Did you know ? : Motorcycle taxis without legal status in Haiti
20/08/2017 09:12:24

Luders Pauléus of the Directorate of Traffic of the Traffic Police (DCPR) declared that "The law does not recognize the Moto-Taxi" explaining "transit is defined in the law. However, in spite of the usefulness of Taxi-moto for the population and the important part that it represents in the Haitian economy, Taxi-moto does not yet have a legal provision in Haiti..."

For taxi drivers (whose price is set at 30 Gourdes by the Ministry of Social Affairs), they must be clearly identified on their helmets and on their vest and the circuit they serve, must be inscribed on the motorcycle which can also carry only one passenger for reasons of safety...

Luders Pauléus called the Taxis-moto unions to organize and discipline themselves by asking their members not to park on sidewalks and to respect the road code and safety measures.
