LTA and taxi companies will implement thing if there is a
interest that benefit them, not entirely the public (paxs) and
certainly, never the TD.
Even as an entrepreneur, you need to do your business within the
framework of your business ethic, rules and regulation. If you open
company, you need to oblige the business laws and the space and
licence for operation, safety, audit and many other licencee to run
whatever trade you want to do.
An entrepreneur is one who built or go into his own
business with an entrepreneurship ambitious within himself, he
owes no one a flavour and does, do not neccessary need
to take order from anyone but just follow the rules of
operating his on going business.
A taxi driver is different, he is one who immersed himself by
looking for a taxi to drive, and with a govt that do not allow self
own taxis, he therefore needs to look for taxis company to
rent out a taxis, and as such, he needs to follow the rules and
regulation of the company he rented out the taxis.
And because he ply his business in the public, therefore he is
further compounded by LTA rules and regulations and many others
building or condos regulations. He is not an entrepreneur
who are ambitous people but rather a small self employed
person that take in more or less, a stable income.
