Negotiations to get taxi operators to use a Bloemfontein rank continued, more than ten years after it was completed. Taxi operators refuse to use the multi-million taxi rank in the Bloemfontein CBD, saying it does not conform to industry specifications.

Taxi operators have refused to use the facility, saying it did not conform to industry specifications. The rank only has one entrance and one exit for more than 1 000 taxis.

“It’s very painful for us as residents because we are not safe. When we walk around we get robbed everywhere and there is no safe place for us to get taxis. We get taxis all over the town,” a commuter explains. “Unless if I will be encroaching, I’ve got no control over the roll-out of taxi rank, it is the municipality, the private sector and taxi industry so the mayor can respond to that,” says Mbalula.
