Johannesburg - The Public Servants Association , one of the largest trade unions in the civil service, said on Tuesday it was worried by impending steep taxi fare increases which operators say are unavoidable due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Public taxi operators are set to raise fares by as much as 172 percent from mid-June, saying they are struggling to remain viable in the wake of government restrictions aimed at curbing coronavirus transmissions, such as slashing the number of passengers each vehicle can carry. The PSA said the escalating rise in the price of necessities like food and electricity had already taken its toll on public servants and the country at large.
The association said it would call an urgent special meeting of the public sector bargaining council to table an urgent demand that the state provide all critical workers on duty during the lockdown with an interim transport allowance.
