However, with all their significance, some taxis appear to be not roadworthy to carry passengers on the road. The problem with taxis that are not roadworthy is that they might cause traffic or accidents on the road when they break down.
A video of a taxi driver with a broken taxi is making the rounds on social media. People were left in stitches after they spotted the driver struggling to put the disjoint taxi door from the passenger section inside the taxi. It looks like the door didn’t fit in, but the man was determined to force it inside. “This man’s determination to get the door inside the taxi is next level.” Vinny said as he shared the video.
It was somehow an unfortunate moment to witness because it appeared that the day of hustling was over for him. But then again, it raises questions about the safety of passengers. What will happen in a case where the door falls while the taxi is in motion, maybe even at a high speed?
What made things worse on the video is the sound used in the background. The video had some voice-over of a woman who was complaining about the conditions of some taxis. “When you listen too much to motivational speakers.” Rhu Ndimande said.
Some people, who came across the video, said that the man was just handling the situation. Others said that the man, forcing the door in, is apparently a true definition of “nothing is impossible.”
Whatever that happens, we need taxis on the roads to help us travel to our different destinations. But the taxis must be safe and reliable to give us a safe ride from point A to point B.
