Freedom of expression and choice to decide who we travel with and what mode of transport too. The Phoenix taxi association has no right to force us to travel with a taxi!!

I own an avanza and I got this lift club running for 4years and the passengers are happy with my service and what ever money I make goes to my family and not fancy cars or gambling.

We are the people and we deserve to choose who we want to travel with... This association is up to nonsense and they deserve to be shut down... 😠😠😠😠

I use Avanzas and olso does my mother and other family members...it is a safe and economical way to travel.

I want my voice as a passenger of an Avanza Lift Club to be heard...

Whenever we request for a meeting to be held so the passengers themselves can voice their opinion, we get left out.

Sick and tired of this yearly debacle the Taxi Association puts on every year with the Avanzas.

I work hard and pay privately to travel with an Avanza because I have more faith in this service than I ever would in taking a local taxi... Not to mention the countless times I've seen people get robbed in taxis, myself included. I pay to get dropped off at my residence... Instead of being left in a street corner or main road and still have to walk the distance to my house.

It's my constitutional choice to travel with a private Avanza and not a public Taxi.

I am signing this petition because I am a passenger of an avanza and I refuse to be forced to travel in a taxi. Avanza's are more safe and convenient. The PTA should get rid of all the taxi's that are not road worthy instead of stopping Avanza's to run then maybe people will actually consider using them.

I prefer traveling privately in an Avanza as it is convenient, reliable and safer than taxis. Also, the Avanza provides door to door services, which taxis do not. Furthermore, the taxis are unreliable and have no care or consideration for passengers. Also, there are no taxis at all to and from my route of work.

Raeesa Ebrahim (Durban, 2019-08-06)

Taxis are unsafe, driver behavior is uncouth and disgusting in how they treat their passengers and as a tax paying citizen of SA I’m exercising my freedom of choice and supporting a service whose results that I am happy with. PTA has NO right to force anyone to use their terrible service, that’s all they are - an optional service and not a compulsory one!

Zuleka Shaik (Durban, 2019-08-06)

We should be allowed to pick our own mode of transport,not dictated to conform to specific rules that leads to not being comfortable or violence. Going with our lift club is convenient and comfortable .

Michelle Angamuthoo (Durban, 2019-08-06)

I want avanzas to continue their service because this taxi issue is costing people their jobs and it is more safe and reliable with avanzas because they are not reckless and are on time compared to taxis who climb pavements and exchange us any time they like

I have freedom of choice and I work hard I will not be told how to travel or forced into using the pathetic taxi service in Phoenix. I get to work on time with my avanza and its much more safer. Is the taxi association going to drop us off at our house gates? Are they gonna pick and drop us at our work doors? Are they going to be sober? Are they going to make us comfortable? Are they going to take us home in 15mins or must we sit and waste time and go home after 1 hour? Are they going to take monthly payments? We the public should decide how we want to travel, its our right!!!! These people who are trying to force us and make transport decisions for us are going against the law because they are robbing us of our freedom of movement, freedom of choice. . To be honest I will still not use this pathetic taxi service we will just use our own vehicles...

I would not travel in a taxi. They are unsafe, unreliable and dont run at the times I need to get to work and home.

Avanza are reliable,trustworthy,safe and work according to our times.We also get to pay monthly which is convenient to us. I am at work on time and I reach home on time,I don't get home hours later were as with traveling with public transport gets us late to work and reach home hours later. I have the right to travel with what I want to and I won't be forced to travel with the transport I don't want to.

Charlene naidoo (Durban, 2019-08-06)

#27

I want to travel with whomever I feel safe with. These taxi drivers drive recklessly with no consideration of road rules or the passengers lives they carry. I've been traveling to work for the past 4 years with the same Avanza and feel safe with them. You cannot tell us who to travel with, it's our own choice. No one considers the passengers when they have these meetings deciding what's the best mode of transport in their opinion.

Tavernia Chinsamy (Durban, 2019-08-06)

I am singing because I believe in freedom to exercise our own choices. Private transport avanzas ect should b allowed to run freely. They r reliable safe and cost effective.

#29

I travel with public transport and the Avanzas are by far the most efficient mode of transport... Im dropped off and picked up right from my house... which no taxi service offers. Im not squashed like a sardine through my travel and I not abused verbally by dthe driver. I have piece of mind that Im safe and sound. I font get picked up or dropped off in fear that I might get robbed.I work shifts and my tramsport (Avanza ) works too.Taxi services ,taxi driversand taxi owners can never provide the same service that Avanzas do. No door to door service , no respect...

I prefer the AVANZA over any TAXI any day because of my bad experience with taxi drivers and conductors I also prefer paying the extra & travel in comfort and reach my destination safely not sitting on dog boxes and broken seats with 5 other people on a 4 or 3 seater in a taxi its my money it's my choice

Dianne Dularay (Durban , 2019-08-06)

#33

Avanzas are alot of peoples bread and butter some are driving and sone traveling. People reach work on time and no waiting in long ques at the taxi ranks and leaving home extra early just to get to work and afternoons reach home on time to cook supper and see to their kids, avanzas are giving the people their dignity back and treating them like cattle for the slaughter

Suran Nunnen (Durban, 2019-08-06)

#34

I would like to state that as a South African citizen, each and everyone of us have the legal right, to either travel with an Avanza or transport passengers. There are many Avanza drivers that follow rules and regulations of the PTA even though they are privately owned vehicles. We as commuters pay for private transportation, for safety, convenience, reliability and comfort to name a few. I am speaking as a person who travels with an Avanza, as well as someone who is supported by an Avanza driver. It is no joke driving all hours of the day and night to make sure your passengers receive the service they pay for. The PTA need to have a look at their own before creating havoc for others.

Ramona Govender (Durban, 2019-08-06)

Avanza's are convenient and reliable for people that are working off the taxi route.. by taking away the avanza's are the taxi's going to take us?? .. PTA, STOP BEING SELFISH..

I'm signing because I've been risking my life over the past few days taking public transport. The taxi doesn't drop you off or pick you up from your house. I have to walk a long distance before getting to the taxi stop and getting home.

I travel with an avanza and personally and it is so much better than travelling with public transport where drivers are rude and drive reckless also overloading the vehicles. Avanzas are safe and we are respected. No one has the right to tell us who we can or cannot travel with.

Nirvana Lutchman (Durban, 2019-08-06)

#40

I do not feel safe traveling with a taxi... I have a right to travel with whomever I want to I can not be forced to travel with a taxi. Avanza's are reliable and picks me up from my door step whereby I do don't have to walk to a taxi stop and wait for the next taxi with the risk of being mugged.

My job requires me to travel a lot and I see how reckless and negligent taxis are. They are a law unto themselves. They stop anywhere with no consideration for other road users. During peak hours they overtake and drive in the oncoming lanes. Not to mention the pavements. It's especially bad in phoenix and metro do nothing about it. Those taxis are death traps and unroad worthy.

First taxis are not road worthy. They are never willing or complain to drop people of at their rightful stops. Most people that use the avanza have long hours at work. Is the taxi association willing to pick and drop these people at 2/3 in the morning?

I have safe reliable transportation everyday but I cannot guarantee mine or colleagues safety if we are forced to travel with taxies. When I finish work at 10 every night no taxi will pick me up an drop me safely at my door step. I should have the right to choose a lift club that will suite my needs an ensure my safety. I can't believe what is happening it makes no sense to inconvenience workers like this. Can the government not sit down and discuss a solution without causing all this trouble for those just trying to make a living an trying to support their families. TAXI DRAMA MUST FALL

I have travelled many years using public transport.. eg. Taxi.. Bus etc... it used to be safe...However I found that I had to leave my home to stand on the road side.. Early hours.. Dark and dangerous... Same to get home in the afternoon.. I CHOSE a safer mode of transport...for my convenience.. And safety.. I dnt agree that my right to choose is being taken away by the BULLIES.. who claim to want fareness and justice... Its not only unfair it also means to me that we as citizens and tax payers have no right to choose the mode of transport we want to use...

I should have the freedom to travel with whoever I want to be it a private car carrying more than 3 passengers or a Avanza lift club.

I am signing this because public transport is reckless and I have to transport my 2 year in the lift club with an avanza because her life is more important and it's musher safer because the drivers actually care about our safety and not just money

The PTA are a bunch of thugs and bullies! No transport can provide the safe and reliable service like the Avanzas do! The PTA must back off! I have many family members that rely solely on the Avanzas! Viva Avanzas! Viva!

It is against our human rights to be told with whom we can and cannot travel with.

The Taxi association are acting like thugs and they are putting alot of hard working lives in turmoil to demand they use taxis only. Whats next? Not getting some one a lift in your own car?
This has to stop now!!

I'm signing this because I am happy travelling with an avanza which picks me up from my door and drop me back at my door. I'm also at work before I can start my shift. I doubt that we can get this service from a taxi.

I believe the public has the right to choose which mode of transport we use for various situations, we should not be forced to use taxis, we use taxis when it's convenient for us and we use Avanza when it's convenient for us aswell. Avanzas are more flexible in terms of the hours they are on the road and they cater for people working all shifts, they are also very safely picks us from our house and drops us at our house,. Most taxis are in bad condition and the drivers and conductors are rude and dangerous. I simply feel both modes of transport should be available to the public and we can choose from there which we prefer depending on the situation. We should not be forced to only use taxis.

Freedom of choice, freedom of speech..
Why is the PTA deciding for us? Who gave THEM that right? The community should decide for themselves what mode of transport and with whom they wish to travel with...
What has changed since they tried stopping avanzaz? NOTHING from their part for us! They still money greedy devils who gives 2hoots about passenger safety! They drive like maniacs and OVERLOAD the damn Vans of which most of them arnt even road worthy!!! And Metro is actually siding with them?.. it came out from the horses mouths that even they have the cops "checked" by paying them to be dirty ..  You people have no kids? Sisters? Mothers? Aunts? Must we stand miles away from our homes to wait for a taxi for long periods of time? Is it safe??? What about the 1 incident that happened some time back where a girl was taken on a joyride with a taxi driver and his condi where she had been assaulted by them!
Also what about jobs??? Its evident that this has cost quite a few people their jobs for reaching work late as they get dropped off by a rank or stop and have to walk further to work as if sitting in the taxi several hours going around n around for it to load isn't enough...trust me people that I work with lost their jobs, some people are on disciplinary processes for coming late... it messes with peoples routine... why are we going backwards and causing job loss instead of create more? N yes what about the avanza drivers jobs??? If PTA was so damn clever they should have gotten into this aswell wayyy back..now they stand and watch the avanza drivers like hawks at almost every corner in Phoenix..hoping to intimidate them and passengers...  such harassment.. so what are the police doing about that? These owners have nothing better to do clearly..  they can stand around all day like useless mutts while avanza drivers slog and try to earn a living.. which they wana cut.. NO ONE should decide for us! WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO TRAVEL WITH LIFT CLUBS OF OUR CHOICE... VEHICLES AND DRIVERS OF OUR CHOICE, for our own comfort, convenience and safety! Give the avanza drivers an opportunity!! We pay our fares end of each month! Are these Taxi owners going to be that generous? These greedy people always chasing money without thinking of peoples safe journeys...
This whole thing is sick and doesnt make any sense!!!
THERE ARE MUCH BIGGER CRIMES THAT NEED FOCUS YET YOL TARGET AVANZA DRIVERS.. DOING AN HONEST JOB..
SO EVERY AVANZA OWNER IS NOW A CRIMINAL??? WHO WILL WANT TO BUY AN AVANZA NOW.... WHAT WILL TOYOTA HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT? YOU PTA SHITS WANT TO STEAL FROM SO MANY DIFFERENT POCKETS AND MAKE SO MANY PEOPLES LIVES DIFFICULT...JUST GIVE US ALL A DAMN BREAK AND GO SPEND SOME TIME CLEANSING YOUR SOUL THAN STAND LIKE BIG DEALS AT EVERY CORNER OF PHOENIX... YOL ARE NOT GONA BE MAKING MORE MONEY THIS WAY... YOU PEOPLE ARE JUS HURTING THE ECONOMY! GO WORRY ABOUT ENSURING YOLS VEHICLES ARE ROADWORTHY AND THAT U HAVE DECENT TRUSTWORTHY DRIVERS AND CONDIZ THAT WONT MAKE PEOPLE SIT ON CRATES, BOARDS AND BUCKETS ...ALSO THINK OF WAYS WHERE WE PEOPLE DONT HAVE TO WALK A DISTANCE TO GET YOUR SERVICE!!!! IF U CAN PROVIDE WHAT AVANZAZ DO THEN MAYBE...JUST MAYBE YOL WOULD GET SOME CONSIDERATION... UNTIL THEN, STOP BEING GREEDY LUMPS AND CUT DOWN THE NEXT PERSONS EARNINGS....

The working class always bear the brunt of the rich. This whole issue is about money. Why should people be left stranded with no means of getting to work? This issue is unfair to innocent people trying to get by. I know what it is to miss our on opportunities because of not having my own transport and because public transport couldn't get me where I needed.

I'm signing because my safety and my job comes first. I prefer Avanas because I arrive on time to work ND as well as coming home. They don't go round ND round like how taxis do. Their drivers treat us with respect. Not like how the taxi driver are. So please I prefer Avanas.

It is my right to choose how I travel to work. The avanza pick me up from my home with my baby then goes and drop my baby off at her daycare and proceeds to take me to work. After work the avanza picks me up from work and then take me to pick my baby up from day care before leaving us at home. Will public transport do this? I think not. For this reason I will continue to travel with an avanza!

Lucille Chetty (Durban Phoenix, 2019-08-08)

I'm signing because I believe I have a right to travel how ever I feel, and not forced to commute with taxis that are so unsafe and reckless and always making me late for work. Taxi Drivers dont respect their elders and the roads.

The relationship I have built with avanzas and etios sedans - the drivers is remarkable, reliable and safe and will travel with them without hesitation.
