The Ministry of Commerce has announced that it will launch a scheme to assist taxi drivers buying their own cars
“Taxis owned by the Ministry of Commerce will be sold at 60 percent of the market price through a hire-purchase system,” said a ministry official. He said that the aim is to allow drivers to eventually own their own vehicles.
Previously, the ministry and buyer representatives had negotiated to settle 60 percent of the total price.
The official said, “Now, they have devised a more convenient payment system for the drivers.”
