iyaegin: Quite true But my issue is with the Hackney. Hackney is for commercial purposes, and same goes for red plated vehicles So will they be demanding Hackney from every blue plate they see? I feel they are better ways to generate revenue rather than defeating the purpose of blue and red plates |

Still on this hackney permit and LASDRI issue. First, we need to understand that it is Lagos State government's duty to tax citizens living and earning in the state; as well as businesses in the state. Second, no ride-sharing platform has an operational license from Lagos State yet. Yes, they are incorporated entities, but they still need a "permit" in the form of a license to do what they do in Lagos. Third, ride-sharing companies are being economical with the truth when they claim to be technology companies and not transportation companies. It's a stupid argument I don't even need to stress myself to beat down. Just look at what has happened to Uber in London. Four, Lagos State government wants Uber and Bolt and their likes to obtain an operational license. It is Lagos State government's right; after all, the government provides the roads, the security, LASTMA (to clear traffic on the roads) and the "enabling" or "thriving" or "commercial" environment to make e-hailing happen. Five, Lagos State government wants every car on e-hailing to also have an operational license as well as Hackney permit. It is the state government's right, after all, it arms the Police that secures lives and properties on the streets and at home when we sleep. Six, e-hailing companies operational licenses and that of individual cars on the platforms are two different kinds of licenses. Seven, no matter how long we keep running from these hard facts, they are the truth; and will continue to stare us in our faces. Eight, so what do we do? Car owners - get the operational license for your vehicle. It's only #110,000=00 for life! For a vehicle that will bring you rentals of about #1.25 million every year, it is chicken change. Driver's - get the Hackney permit for the vehicles you drive. It's only #3,000 every year. And while you are at it, get your LASDRI card too; it's only #2,000 every year. This is the right thing to do to make everywhere "soft" for both car owner and driver. A few words are enough for the wise. 3 Likes 3 Shares

nitigriti: Totally Disagree with you that drivers should get an operational license of N110k even if it is a one off it is way too expensive and what exactly does operational license mean then you should charge everybody else the same operational license they should just ditch that idea and leave it at LASDRI and Hackney alone.the operational license bullshit is just a way to make money off ehailing drivers and companies it cannot stand IMO. 11 Likes |

nitigriti: Medallions were used to regulate the number of cars on the system. They are usually expensive. Also, Uber and Lyft were not forced to have medallions. In fact, Uber made the price of medallions to reduce drastically, because people prefer to register on Uber than to pay $50k for a medallion In all, I think Uber should be left to bear the brunt of the law. What if I do only one trip on uber daily, when closing from work? Do I need a #110,000 license and a #3500 hackney permit? I think the government is just after the money. 12 Likes |

izzou: We need to look beyond "operational licenses" or "medallions" and focus on the big picture - the right of cities to tax her productive residents. All Lagos State government is saying is, if you drive your vehicle for commercial purposes, then you need to have an operational license. Again, what is in focus here is the right of Lagos State government to tax her residents. The yellow taxi unions pay for their licenses. Same for NURTW. Same for Miyeti Allah and the cows they sell in the state. Same for the tomato and pepper seller in Ketu. Same for the fuel stations across the state. Same for all market men and women. Same for Night Club operators. Same for quick service restaurants. Same for hotels and guest houses. Same for privately-operated schools. Same for privately-operated hospitals in the city. Same for pharmacies in the city. Same for medical laboratories in the city. Same for land owners and house owners ... Everyone and every business is being taxed in Lagos. E-hailing cars are not so special that they should be exempted. 2 Likes |
