Urban Transport – Taxi Drivers Rush for Secure Badges

[Cameroon Tribune]Since the introduction of identification badges for taxi drivers in the country a few years ago, many have failed to respect the use of such badges. In Yaounde for instance, majority of the taxi drivers drive around town without identification badges. Some use badges which do not belong to them or are not legible while others do not have badges at all. As a result, crime wave has skyrocketed in the city as it is difficult to know who is a taxi driver and who is not.
