Whos at fault with the taxi's

[garthu]

You know when i saw this morning combined with another article/interview the other day, i realise now that attacking the drivers themselves may actually not be the solution:

Taxi tycoon Ralph Jones, accused of intimidating drivers, is facing investigation for fraud in the industry

I commented in another thread how getting them under control would be a good start to law and order

What i heard the other day is that the drivers themselves only end up with around R400 per week. A taxi can make around 10K a week top end if i interpret correctly.

Believe me i'm the first one to yell and scream some mornings (when i havnt had my whhhooosa meditation before i drive) but looking at this, the drivers are forced into this situation and i think it's fair to say forced. Kinda like crime (well it is) that if you dont drive like a maniac, you not gonna make even your R1600 per month, not be able to feed family - the number one reason for anarchy/crime. Never been a secret that the "bosses" are behind the violence so this then becomes the logical starting point.

It's the bosses that are against the RTS and regulating of the business, not the drivers

get the bosses sorted out, not the drivers. Putting the drivers in jail is going to do nothing for our roads.

I withdraw my statement sort out the taxi drivers and now make it "SORT OUT THE OWNERS AND BOSSES"
