There's always fighting among taxi associations, it's like a gang, fighting for drug territory, police are not equipped, nor have the guts to deal with them, only Somalians/Pakistani shop owners can....

I’m gradually making more earnings now in my trades but with the aid of a trader that was recommended and now I'm recommending her to y'all EliDonovan01

If it were not for the fact that commuters get to be killed as well, I wouldn't give a damn if the taxi ppl wipe each other out.
