The government has confirmed that taxi driving will be given professional status and that a registry of taxi drivers will be compiled, allowing drivers to be registered as official income earners. At a press conference at the President's Office on Tuesday, Principal Secretary Abdulla Nazim Ibrahim also outlined plans for a digital payment system and for introducing environmentally friendly taxis.
One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
With such difficulties, taxi drivers should be registered in the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation as part of their efforts to become official income earners.
The President has also asked all stakeholders, especially taxi drivers, to be properly consulted during these discussions to ensure that no one’s rights are violated.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
The cabinet has also decided to take necessary steps to make the taxis environmentally friendly, particularly as the Ras Malé is being developed as an eco-city.
