\u201cKom gesels met ons as jy dink ons oortree die re\u00ebls,\u201d s\u00ea Worcester se taxibestuurders.<\/p>\n

Taxibestuurders het Standard<\/i> gekontak om hul kant van die saak te stel n\u00e1 verlede week (\u201cSonde met die taxi\u2019s<\/b>\u201d<\/span>) se berig oor inwoners wat moeg is vir taxibestuurders wat padre\u00ebls in Avianpark en die dorp verontagsaam. <\/p>\n

Volgens Stanley Amsterdam van die Worcester United-taxivereniging moet inwoners verstaan dat \u2019n \u201ctaxi \u2019n besigheid op wiele is\u201d. Hy s\u00ea taxibestuurders word dikwels die \u201cvyande in die verhaal\u201d gemaak weens negatiewe beriggewing en nuus in die land. <\/p>\n

Hy s\u00ea hy is bewus van bestuurders wat soms padre\u00ebls verontagsaam en s\u00ea hulle word getugtig indien hulle verkeerd doen.<\/p>\n

Amsterdam het vantevore die verkeersdepartement genader en gevra om wetstoepassers uit te stuur om die paaie te beveilig vir taxibestuurders, motoriste en voetgangers. Hy het ook die verkeersdepartement en munisipaliteit genader om toegewyde op- en aflaaipunte vir taxi\u2019s te skep, s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n

Volgens Amsterdam is \u2019n gebrek aan amptelike stilhouplekke vir taxi\u2019s dit wat taxibestuurders soms noop om dadelik te stop as hulle iemand sien wat van hul diens gebruik wil maak.<\/p>\n

\u201cMense moet besef elke R10 is \u2019n inkomste vir ons. Ons maak glad nie verskoning vir sekere bestuurders se gedrag op die pad nie, maar dit is hoekom die publiek ons in kennis moet stel van sulke gebeure.<\/p>\n

\u201cLaat weet vir ons sodat ons die bestuurders kan dissiplineer, sodat hulle die re\u00ebls nakom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amsterdam s\u00ea mense moet die regte kanale volg as hulle klagtes het.<\/p>\n

\u201cHulle kan gebruik maak van die nommers agterop die taxi\u2019s as hulle ongelukkig of gelukkig is oor ons diens.\u201d <\/p>\n

John Vergotini, ondervoorsitter van die vereniging, s\u00ea taxibestuurders is tans besig met onderskeidelik die Blue Dot- en Red Dot-projek.<\/p>\n

Die twee projekte help om seker te maak taxibestuurders kom die padre\u00ebls na omdat daar \u2019n nasporingstelsel vir die taxi\u2019s is.<\/p>\n

Volgens Mervin September, wat verantwoordelik is vir dissipline in die vereniging, is dit dikwels diegene wat nie gebruik maak van taxi\u2019s nie wat die meeste klagtes het.<\/p>\n

Hy s\u00ea taxibestuurders moenie almal oor dieselfde kam geskeer word nie. \u201cLaat weet vir ons wie die re\u00ebls oortree, sodat ons daardie bestuurders kan tugtig.\u201d<\/p>\n

Die vereniging spreek sy hoop uit dat die publiek en die taxi-gemeenskap \u2019n oop verhouding met mekaar sal h\u00ea. <\/p>\n

Mense kan die Worcester United-taxivereniging se kantoor by 073 782 5265 skakel as hulle griewe het oor taxi\u2019s en taxibestuurders.<\/p>\n

Die kantoor is by Greystraat 4 C<\/span><\/span>gele\u00eb en is daagliks van 08:00 tot 17:00 oop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
