Yes better give them some uniform too.fir foreigners and even locals don’t know who is the driver of the taxi since they wear normal dress. Also add all drivers to the database not only the ones who drive through parks

At the initial introduction of the three wheelers, it was a definite convenience at a low cost for the citizen at the bottom end of the economic scale. However, in the recent past,it became a symbol of the criminals, kidnapper, bootlegger, political thug and drug dealer and distributor, and a maniac on the road. There has not been much of an improvement in the model and the ride continues to be jarring. High time the RMV saw to it that a more comfortable suspension system is incorporated.
