When you hear the word “taxi” what do you think about?
Perhaps a yellow New York city Ford Crown Victoria. A black cab in London. Or maybe the Toyota Comforts zipping around in the traffic in Shibuya.When it comes to a South African taxi, the phrase “ride of your life” is something many people will say comes to mind.
The South African taxi, minibus, is a different beast. The drivers aren’t loved by other drivers. For the most part they treat road rules as suggestions. They will stop on the side of busy roads to pick up passengers, often without indicating of any sort.
But I’m not here to bash the taxi.
It’s part of the South African culture. There are jokes about it. There are more serious aspects to taxis and the taxi business. It’s become a part of South Africa like a braai or the Springboks.
