Yaounde taxi drivers given seven days to regularize.
Taxi Drivers as well as owners of mini buses in Yaounde have been given a seven-day ultimatum to fix their vehicles or face the law.
The ultimatum was given by the Mayor of Yaounde, Luc Messi Atangana, on Tuesday, March 17 during a meeting with the various transporters’ syndicates. During the meeting aimed at evaluating the state of taxis and mini buses plying the streets of Yaounde, the City Mayor said they must meet up with a minimum set of conditions, notably, on the necessary documentation, respect the hygiene and sanitation conditions and keep their vehicles in good shape.
He frowned at the state of some taxis in Yaounde which he said do not deserve to ply the streets of such a city and warned they would not be tolerated by next week. Cameroon is planning to host two major sports event with visitors and tourists expected in the country and taxis in such dirty state will not give a good image of the country, he said.
For his part, the Centre Regional Delegate to Transport presented the state of taxis in the city as he praised some for operating within the norms while others simply are a nightmare even to passengers who board these taxis.
At the end of the meeting, all stakeholders agreed the taxi drivers and bus owners will paint their vehicles, fix the windscreen, get clean and decent seats in their vehicles, dress properly, respect pedestrians, among others.
