Radio Taxi Service to start on Monday

Fully air-conditioned cars fixed with meters and Motorola to operate a modern Radio Taxi Service (RTS) in the Accra Metropolis will be commissioned in Accra on Monday.

The metered Radio Taxi Service (RTS), established by the Labour Enterprises Trust (LET) Limited, will be manned by disciplined and cultured drivers to render dedicated service to their clients.

This brings to four the number of projects so far undertaken by the TUC-sponsored LET since its establishment in 1997 but which became fully operational eleven months ago.

The projects already in operation are the Unique Insurance Company Ltd with 87.5 per cent shares, City Car Park Ltd with 20 per cent shares, and its 100 per cent fully-owned Water Tanker Services.

The Chief Executive of LET, Mr. Dennis K.Y. Vormawor, told the Ghana News Agency at the weekend that the RTS would usher in a revolutionary dynamism in the country's taxi business.

It will enable clients to call the control room of RTS offices to be picked from their doorsteps or offices for their errands as prevails in the advanced countries.

This is the first time such a service is being introduced in Ghana to boost national tourism, he explained.

The RTS operational Centre is located at the LET Head Office at Kojo Bruce House on 5 Okai Mensah Link, Adabraka.
