Taxi drivers request against government entry into taxi services

Drivers Association has submitted a plea to the Parliament requesting to stop the Transport Ministry's decision to hand over taxi services between Malé and Hulhumalé to a state-owned-company.

The association sent the letter to the parliament last July, expressing concerns after the Transport Ministry's 'Malé Fahi' programme included the establishment of a government owned taxi line. Although Transport Minister Mohamed Ameen was requested by the parliament to respond in writing, he preferred to attend and answer in person.
