Taxi driver safety
Is enough being done to make taxi drivers safer?
I’m not even sure what is being done so I’m guessing not.
– Devan Ostapyk, second-year, business administration
Enough is being done with the new regulations. The idea of undercover cops in driver cars is a really good idea.
– Liz Bend, third-year, conflict resolution studies
Whenever I get in cabs I am more worried about my safety.
– Marshall Maslovsky, second-year, conflict resolution studies
The shields that are there aren’t enough. What they need is a screen between the back and the driver.
– Michael Jackson, Owner of Copy Cat Bags, Portage Place
Actually I don’t really know. I don’t take taxis but I’ve heard a lot of shit about people robbing them.
– Victor Richard, downtown resident
I don’t really think so. They should put metal detectors on the doors of the taxi.
– Zawadi Muhima, high school student
