Digital taxi drivers want the transport regulator to cap taxi-hailing service operators’ commissions at a maximum of five percent in a raft of proposals submitted to the Senate.

Through their lobby, the Digital Taxi Forum (DTF), the drivers also want the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to retain turnover tax at three percent and a further two percent levy paid to City Hall in lieu of business permits and parking fees.
