Taxi commuters and motorists experienced disruptions to transport services and traffic this morning as members of the National Taxi Alliance marched through the Pretoria CBD.
Taxis were also on a go-slow on the N3 North at Van Buuren bridge as part of today’s protest.

The taxi industry is unhappy with government’s response to a variety of grievances, including the Integrated Public Transport Network or the Bus Rapid Transport system, operating licences, the Taxi Recapitalisation Programme, public transport subsidies and provisions of the National Land Transport Act.
