President of the Route Two Maxi Taxi Association, Brenton Knights, has warned that maxi taxi operators are preparing for strong resistance to recent changes in traffic regulations and increases in bus route fees, which he says were implemented without consultation or proper justification.
Speaking with Guardian Media after the amendments were revealed, Knights said neither his association nor other key stakeholders were engaged before changes were made to the regulations, affecting driving offences and the cost for maxi taxis to operate on bus routes.
“I had no consultation,” Knights said. “Changes were made unilaterally. You cannot function that way in a responsible government or a responsible ministry.”
