Motorcycle-taxi is a driving informal public type of transportation which transit authorities have been trying to control in Cartagena city with regulations such as pico y placa. However, this regulation registers a high violation rate (about 69% of motorcycle-taxi drivers infringe it). In this paper, binary choice models are estimated in which examine factors that make a motorcycle-taxi drivers more likely to break the regulation. Results show that most robust determinants are the number of motorcycles use for labor purposes and the expected gain to get from it. It is concluded that the regulation has encouraged using of at least one additional motorcycle.
