President of the All-Voice Taxi Association, Lorraine Finnikin, wants the transport minister to directly address longstanding issues affecting operators of public passenger vehicles.
Finnikin was speaking on Nationwide at Five on Friday.
Finnikin’s call follows a similar move by the Kingston Metropolitan Transport Region, KMTR, Route Taxi Association, which has signalled its intention to write to Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness on the issue.
The associations say there is an absence of designated stops and parking areas along several routes. They contend that members face prosecution for using areas designated for buses or for parking by yellow painted kerbs.
According to Finnikin, the responsible state agencies are not doing enough to address the issues.
