this taxi industry is a crime! I always gave people a lift for free. I must now leave a old lady walking on the road? My brother what is happening to SA!
If I have R200 to travel from point A to point B, it's my right as the owner of that R200 to choose where I want to spend that money in traveling.

We don’t owe taxi drivers any reason for getting a ride with a friend. They don’t own us commuters. They can look after their taxis and let us ride any vehicle we so desire. Checkers cannot go to Pick n Pay and stop people from getting inside the Pick n Pay. Utter BS!
Giving lifts is against the law buddy. In reality it was actually supposed to be traffic officers that are the ones who impound your vehicle and confiscate your driving license for giving lifts to so called "friends" on the side of the road. Unfortunately, since they are unable to patrol every road at every hour, the taxi industry finds itself having to take matters into their own hands and enforce the national law by themselves. The situation of giving lifts to relatives or friends is tricky because it is the same as telling an police officer that the gun you have in your possession is not a real gun but is actually a toy gun so you don't need to own a firearm license. But in reality, what do you honestly expect to happen when they find you with a toy gun inside your pants? Same goes with giving lifts. What do you honestly expect lawful permit holders to think when they see you giving a lift to a group of guys on the side of the road and you are busy claiming they are "just friends"? Rather call that person and inform them to wait for you at a more appropriate spot and not at a hitchhiking spot.
What if the person is my school friend back in the days and is hitch hiking how will they call me coz it just happens I bumped into them at hiking spot n worst part he doesn't have enough money for taxi fare that's why they are hitch hiking so according to you what must I do on that situation?

No worries PRASA is working. Very soon we will be paying R150 monthly to travel to work rather than R1,500. When trains come back in most places they will loose a lot of customers 100%.
It’s not your right to carry passengers; it’s your business. As a business, you provide a service that you then sell to willing passengers. You overstep your boundaries when, instead of simply offering your service, you actively control, in a mafia-like manner, the choices available to passengers.
You are absolutely right. Every person has a right to choose what's good for them and the will remains with that person. No one has a right to dictate to anyone to pay for a service they don't want.
well articulated, the level of entitlement is so sickening, you cannot be safe driving a car thats used mostly by Uber and taxify you will definitely be stopped by these mafias
Nope... It is my RIGHT as a private citizen to transport anybody I want... I may not charge or agree a fee for this as this would then be a business which is regulated. What SANTACO is saying is that PnP can stop people from walking into Checkers or Woolies because they are NOT shopping at PnP

this is not security, this is crime, Your car is your car, you are permitted to move anybody as long as you don't exceed the licenced number of passengers for the vehicle. The majority of claims for accidents ARE in taxis... nothing is more dangerous, taxis follow no road rules.
Why do they keep talking about permits when those are for taxis. It's my private vehicle. Huge difference. The industry needs to be fully regulated. Where is the government?

Am disappointed with Xolani's questions. There is no law that obligates an individual without a car to use taxis, in fact the taxi industry it's a service offered in which the consumer has the right to refuse.

What rubbish! The taxi industry is illegitimate! We, the tax paying people of South Africa deserve a safe, reliable & affordable public transport system. We are sick of the taxi industry always demanding their way & their lawless behaviour.
