Cosatu supports taxi industry being subsidised amid price hiking reports

calling on government to subsidise its industry as it does for busses and trains“Cosatu is alarmed by the decision taken by the various taxi associations to implement a 172% fare increases in the province of Gauteng following the failure by government to honour the commitment made to them over the lockdown relief fund,” it said in a statement.

Cosatu claimed the taxi industry had suffered serious neglect from the government over the years despite it being a big contributor to the economy. “Taxi drivers should have been part of the Covid-19 Temporary Employer/Employee Relief Scheme and the fact that their employers do not pay the minimum wage and do not contribute to the fund is a problem,” the federation continued.
