The Lagos State Government wants the citizenry to be wary of unlicensed e-hailing operators within the state as they pose security threats to safety of lives and property.
According to the government, only eight out of the several e-hailing operators are registered and recognised by government and they include; Lagos Ride, Uber, Bolt, Let Me Run, Global Taxi, Zoom Run, Treepz, Plenty Waka, and Shuttlers.
Commissioner for Transportation, Doctor Frederic Oladeinde said government had observed high levels of non-compliance by some unlicensed operators who flagrantly violate the guidelines developed to regulate their activities.
He expressed government’s displeasure over the refusal of the App owners and partners to comply with the law guiding their operations in the wake of criminal activities in the State.
