  Taxi business must adopt to the new world of technology or will be extinct. In few years to come, there will be driver-less taxis. Uber drivers are independent contractors, and their income is taxable, creating employment for many car owners either part or full time. Uber as a corporate entity, pays corporate tax.

  This has always been how violent and foolish GPRTU members have always behaved.the monster thinks its business is threatened and therefore will intimidate. Ghanaians should not allow the union to keep taking people for a ride. Authorities should allow uber to be. They 're the perfect answer to GPRTU. Same should happen in the trotro arena as well.

  The new technology is rocking the boat in all angles and if you do not innovate you will die whilst others will boom.

  Uber can operate but must conform to all commercial vehicle regulations and taxes as the traditional taxis. Taxi operators should rise up and stop Uber.

  UBER Car Service, a clear monopolistic
  aggression. It is a MULTI-BILLION Organization.
  If it allows to function in Ghana Local Car
  Service Industry will vanish, leaving OUR
  LOCAL Car Drivers unemployed. We have not
  the stage to allow this NEW INDUSTRY to
  function, because it is not like setting up
  industries like factories for manufacturing
  GOODS. Most of their cars are BRAND
  NEW ONES, which passengers will not
  PATRONIZE LOCAL DRIVERS with OLD and
  DILAPIDATED CARS spewing fumes along.
  Please protect our LOCAL TAXI DRIVERS
  IT IS A MONOPOLISTIC AND AGGRESSIVE
  ACTION. NEW YORK CAB DRIVERS FOUGHT
  THEM, BUT since MIGHTY PEOPLE ARE BEHIND they could win their fight.
  GHANA HAS NOT REACHED THIS PHENOMENON,
  and so Please save the LOCAL CAB SERVICE.

  Some of you talk through your anus. Competition is good for the consumer. GPRTU has been enjoying a monopoly since 1957, and they still want to remain a monopoly. Their days are over!
