Jamaica’s Transport Authority has warned rural taxi drivers to stop putting children in the trunk of their motor cars.
The practice is an age-old problem in communities in a bid to increase their earnings on each trip.
According to Managing Director at the Authority, Donald Foster, any operator found to be violating the rights of passengers, to a safe and comfortable ride by overloading the vehicles will be prosecuted under section 28 (3) of the Road Traffic Regulations.
