"I have always been of the strong view that negotiations are the best way to iron out whatever differences that may exist between the Western Cape Provincial Taxi Alliance and the provincial government. I applaud the leaders of the alliance for their commitment to work together with me for the common good of the minibus taxi industry in the province," says Carlisle.
The MEC emphasised that he is committed to build working relationships with the minibus taxi industry in his quest to create an enabling environment for an effective and reliable public transport system in the province.
