Cooperative Transportation Campaigns: Fair Share Maxi Taxis

Cooperative Transportation Campaigns.

Fair Share Maxi Taxis.

Faire Share Maxi Taxis are a rendering of the “Share Taxis” methodology, practised throughout the Earth and referred to by many different names. A “share taxi” may be considered as a combination between a conventional bus system and the practise of private taxis. Share taxis are a system of independently operating vehicles, usually minivans and/or commuter shuttle vans, that each travel along a fixed route, usually a 10 – 20 kilometer stretch of a main road, much like a conventional bus system. However, rather than having specifically designated stops, a share taxi simply picks up passengers along this route, as passengers appropriately signal from the street to the share taxi, and the share taxi drops passengers off respectively where passengers specifically indicate to the driver. The aggregate network of share taxis routes within a metropolitan area provide passengers with a proficient and efficient alternative to conventional bus systems and private taxis. The objective of the Faire Share Maxi Taxis endeavour is, particularly amidst the transformation of the Metro Rails, to establish proficient share taxi services within metropolitan areas, through amateur (grassroots, underground, and additional ad hoc) campaigns, as well as professionally organised, commercial enterprises. The idea is for residents of metropolitan areas to build across socioeconomic, religious, ethnic, and additional divides, and cooperate together in solving the commonly-held challenge of transportation.
