Yesterday, Thursday 26 June 2014, the Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET) showed off its new trailers for hauling motorcycles that are taken off the roads due to traffic violations. Many do not have license plates or their drivers are not wearing helmets. On the first day of use, the AMET towed away over 500 motorcycles to the parking lots prepared for the haul. The parking lots are located on Independencia and Monumental avenues. An AMET spokesman said that the new trailers could be towed by small tractors or pickup trucks, which makes it easier to remove the motorbikes. AMET used to use platform-trucks to transport the motorcycles.
