00:00A dispute over what constitutes appropriate attire for public transport operators is
00:06during debate among maxi-taxi drivers. One driver has taken to social media after receiving
00:11a $1,500 fixed penalty ticket from a traffic warden for allegedly being unsuitably attired.
00:19Displaying the ticket, the driver questioned the basis for the offense, insisting he was
00:23dressed in a jersey, long pants and shoes.
00:30Get for how much rate this? $1,500 for being unsuitably attired. Which way they mark unsuitably attired?
00:39Violation, right?
00:43Fixed penalty, violation, right?
00:47Alright, look at here.
00:50Some ready.
00:53Alright, this is the person signature here.
00:56Give this driver a ticket for being unsuitably attired.
01:04The driver said the regulations prohibit operators from wearing vests, sleeveless shirts, short
01:10pants and slippers while working but maintained his clothing does not breach those rules.
01:16You are unable to wear vests, short pants and slippers to work at maxi, right?
01:25Water fan outfit working at big maxi on the route too.
01:31Alright, bus route.
01:33According to the Lord, this is acceptable.
01:37Alright, a jersey, long pants and shoes.
01:41What truck are you wearing?
01:43Are you wearing a?
01:46Sweat pants and a short pants and a armless shirt.
01:52You can't wear this while driving a maxi or a taxi.
01:56He is now calling on the Commissioner of Transport and the Minister of Works and Transport to clarify the dress
02:02code for public transport operators.
02:04The driver claims the ticket has caused confusion and concern among operators, many of whom believe they are complying with
02:11the existing regulations.
02:12We call on the Minister of Works and Transport to address this matter because this causes some real bacchanal on
02:22the bushing right now in all the maxi charts.
02:25It causes plenty of uproar right now because we know all taxi drivers wearing the correct thing every day.
02:34Alright, so we're shooting out this video here to raise the concern.
02:39According to the MaxiTaxi Act, it simply says the operator of a maxi-taxi shall ensure he is quote-unquote
02:47suitably attired.
02:48TV6 reached out to the Ministry of Works and Transport and the Transport Commissioner for comment on the incident and
02:55the applicable dress code for maxi-taxi drivers.
