My first thought as well.... at a meeting and you're strolling around with a weapon like that.


So if the article is true around some of the impounding being for frivolous things, then I agree that those should be stopped.. but driving without plates, non road worthy vehicles or no PrDP, well nope vehicle must go to the impound lot and the city must tell the Taxi Council to go fsck themselves.

They will probably burn any busses and formal taxis taking over their mafia business.

Just another reason for the rest of SA to be jealous of CPT then

Taxis staying away for 6 days is unacceptable. The city needs to come to the table and negotiate with the taxi associations. We won't settle for anything less than a month with no taxis.

Impound every f'ing taxi that blocks the road.

Same crap every time they don't get to do as they like.

Yep.. Things will mysteriously start combusting...

 

[CTBP]

Are you telling me we will finally have free flowing traffic? Where can I donate to the stay-away?

 

[Solarion]

Every Uber driver in the WC

It's the opposite

Also Uber

Indeed. My understanding was that the flow of traffic actually benefits when a certain percentage of drivers don't strictly obey the road rules.

Nah, bulldozers should be employed to open the road again.
