Recently, there has been an increase in the number of complaints made by customers to the taxis operating in the capital, regarding the various violations committed by the “chauffeur” and “receiver”.
However, it is worth noting that the authorities are not watching or deliberately turning a blind eye, especially those in the Urban Transport Cooperative Association or the UCTU, but there are already strategies and steps taken. : submission of a new draft book of responsibility in the municipality of Antananarivo. According to the Acting President of the UCTU, Mr. Rakotonirina Jean Louis Émile, they are using an outdated manual (2018) that does not match the current situation, so they are doing what everyone is eaten by their stomachs. In this new handbook, the agreement between the municipality and the cooperative and the car owner, the drivers and assistants will work. ” No one dares to budge when this agreement is clear ».
“Grand Tana” Project
In addition, the UCTU also highlighted the “Grand Tana” transport project, which was held in Ivato last month. ” It’s not that we reject development, but there are points that need to be corrected and that need to be looked at together » said this President of UCTU. One of the things included in this project is the removal of the management of the public administration in the capital from the Antananarivo suburb municipality and to announce it in the Land Transport Agency or the ATT, in addition to installing the “bus” route, will work on the highways or roundabouts in the capital. The words of the UCTU are clear, according to this Acting President, that they reject this plan change. ” It is better for the CUA to manage the public transport in the capital and we will never accept the taking of the CUA’s money and giving it to other agencies they said.
