Drivers at Madina, a suburb of the Greater Accra Region, say the introduction of tricycles (Pragya) has destroyed their taxi business in the region.
Their comments come at a time when calls are being made to the government to legalise the operations of Pragya.
Some taxi drivers, who shared their grievances with Ahotor Business, said they have lost passengers to Pragya drivers who charge less.
Another commented, “Because we are all at the taxi station we don’t get enough money because of the number of times one will work.
‘’Because of ‘Pragya’ people don’t chatter taxi as dropping as they used to, unless the person has a huge load,’’ another chipped in.
They urged the government to do something about their current situation as taxi drivers in the country.
Some passengers confirmed the comments of the taxi drivers, but they argued that times are hard and the cheaper option is the first choice.
