Ramesh takes up maxi drivers’ cause

NATIONAL Team Unity leader Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj met yesterday with maxi-taxi drivers at City Gate, Port-of- Spain.

According to Maharaj, the main concern of the drivers is the “unfair” $1 user fee they pay to the Public Transport Service Commission. “It is very unfair for drivers to pay money to PTSC who is basically their competitor,” he said, adding that “ the drivers had complained since the UNC was in power and the present minister was showing no sympathy to their cause.” He said the drivers intend to form an action committee which he will be representing “legally and socially” on this and other matters of concern.
