Metered taxi and E-hailing drivers in Port Elizabeth are appealing to the Minister of Transport Fikile Mbalula to relax the transport curfews put in place during the coronavirus lockdown.

Cab driver Moegamat Mujahied says the fixed times will be a major blow for the next 21-days.

“Like this morning , we had a huge problem out in Kobus Road in Gelvandale, where all the workers that had to come and work in the retail shops were left stranded. There were no taxis available and taxi quantums which are 16-seaters had to carry only seven people. It just doesn’t equalize to travel all the distance to the northern areas to town with just seven people from the business perspective it does not work.
