Santaco slams government for abandoning taxi industry over plans to formalise it

Johannesburg –

Taaibosch said the 1996 national transport task team which was set up by former transport minister Dullah Omar, had focused on the unification of the industr, and eradication of violence and economic emancipation, but that the government over the years had ignored the recommendations of the NTTT. He complained taxis continued to be financed at high interest rates despite Statistics SA showing the taxi industry as the most preferred mode of transport in the country.

Magadzi said the government was pumping money into the industry in a bid to ensure it was recapitalised and modernised, with R7.7 billion having been spent to ensure the scrapping of taxis that were road unworthy and not meeting the imposed specifications of a public transportation vehicle.
