The ongoing maxi taxi strike has triggered a surge in demand for alternative transportation services, with ride-share operators reporting increased activity while taxi drivers voiced support for the concerns raised by maxi operators.
TT Rideshare Ltd executive chairman Dwight Housend told Guardian Media that the company responded to the disruption by reducing commissions charged to drivers and offering discounted fares to commuters struggling to get to work, school and other destinations.
The company lowered its commission on trips from 20 per cent to 15 per cent until Wednesday night and introduced a 10 per cent discount code for passengers using the platform.
