Ftown Taxis To Be Branded

FRANCISTOWN: Francistown taxi operators have hailed a new initiative by the Department of Road Transport and Safety (DTRS), which is aimed at fighting piracy. Under the new initiative, each taxi which been allocated a permit to operate in Francistown, has to bear the brand, ‘Francistown Taxi Services’ for identification purposes by colleagues.

The branding also helps the police and DTRS officials to easily identify and curb illegal taxis. In addition the branding initiative also exists nationally.

In an interview with The Monitor,  taxi rank marshal, Godfrey Ndlovu, 40 said the idea to brand their taxis was initiated by the DTRS after the government eased the issuing of the Public Service Vehicle (PSV) operator licences which resulted in high levels of taxi piracy.
