The city of Ribeirao Preto developed a pioneer project in Brazil to fight the practice of the clandestine transportation, a phenomenon that has been growing in Brazil through the past few years. The drivers created a co-operative, were hired by the legal companies, and get paid by kilometre driven to assist the areas with low accessibility. Thus, the dispute for the passengers on the streets ended and the Transportation System could be organised and could receive more investments. This project has been used as a model for several different Brazilian cities. For the covering abstract see ITRD E116619.
