A new massive transportation system has been announced with the intention of eliminating carros públicos (conchos) forever, and improving the quality and safety of public transport users. Often most of the old beat up carcasses roaming the streets of Santo Domingo are conchos. The new system is slated to start soon on Avenida Núñez de Cáceres in Santo Domingo, eventually expanding everywhere carros públicos currently have routes. Drivers of conchos are going to be employed in the new system and will become the drivers of the buses. OMSA will also be prohibited on every concho route replaced by this new system.
