No one complains . UBER has failed and is failing big time. THis is just to throw dust and promote UBER. UBER is dead in Ghana already. Shame.

REFORM OR DIE.That is what the Taxi Union needs to understand.The government will not stop competition in the country just because they refuse to reform or upgrade their services.Ghana Taxi Union has had decades of uninterupted monopoly but refused to professionalise or even upgrade their services.While other countries have adopted metered charging system,electronic payment system and substance abuse monitoring systems,our taxis have remained unchanged for over 70 years.When are they going to establish industrywide safety standards or utilize the readily available technology such as apps to enhance this sector?

This info is absolutely true. But making news that Uber is killing Taxi business is not totally wrong. UBER Ghana should find means to get popular and attractive. They are acting in bad faith. Such news doesnt sell nowadays. They should come again. Any way to play on the ignorance of the Ghanaian populace would be exposed.

If you want to stay in the taxi business, you have to strategize. For instance, change your taxi cab from commercial to private and get into the Uber business. Or change to "trotro". I am so tired of the attitude of most taxi drivers that I am happy about this development.

This guy is very ignorant about what insurance policy is. He also fail to realise that there are taxis which are on the Uber platform

There is Uber in Ghana? Yaay!! Happy days!!. Ghana Taxis are filthy, dangerous and the drivers sometimes very rude. Most of my holiday money goes in to Taxis and once they detect you are from abroad then the fare is bumped up. Healthy competition to teach them sense.

Most of these drivers are dirty and smell bad. Some chew stick as they drive in the morning, spitting all over the place. The taxis are generally old with no AC and a hazard to passengers. Welcome to Ghana Uber.

Taxi drivers should shut up. They should be innovative and find ways of meeting todays challenging world. Competition demands creativity to out wit the market. So so the old ways of doing things and complaining about who is not making things work, complaining about government etc. Its a free world, free society and a democracy. They should also find ways of killing UBER thus taking them out of business or rocking shoulders with them rather than complaining..

Have local drivers asked themselves why the need for such app in Ghana so that Uber can under cut their prices.
