A neighbourhood group in Alajuela tired of transvestites (travestis) offering sexual favours in their streets have taken to the social media to shame customers and force authorities to react.

Using Facebook, the group is publishing license plate numbers of "johns" cruising for gay sex.

The neighbourhood is Corazón de Jesús, where residents complain regularly of travestis having sex with customers openly on the streets and though have the support of the local detachment of the Fuerza Pública (police) and the Policía Municipal (municipal police), the situation continues.
