UTODA, KCC please help passengers

EDITOR: For a long time taxi passengers have been exploited by taxi operators. For instance, a taxi conductor might deliberately refuse to return the right amount of change to a passenger.

Taxi operators often take advantage of traffic jams to hike the taxi and sometimes overload the vehicle making passengers uncomfortable.
Due to the global increase in fuel prices, taxi-operators are transferring this extra cost to passengers by hiking the transport fare. Should passengers be left at the mercy of unscrupulous taxi-operators?
Uganda Taxi Operators and Drivers Association (UTODA) and Kampala City Council ought to intervene. Moreso, both the old and the new taxi parks are in a deplorable state.
The public transport industry in this country is in dire need of professionalism and a price ceiling. When there are government-imposed limits on a commodity’s price it prevents the commodity from becoming inaccessible to the consumer.
