A person might  have to sit for an interview to become a taxi driver in the country. This was discussed during the Bhutan Taxi Association or BTA’s second meeting in Phuentshogling yesterday.

The move is towards building people’s trust by having people with right conscience as a taxi driver.

Taxi drivers said most people look down on their profession today. They said people feel that those who fail in their duties, as civil servants, armed personnel or monks become taxi drivers.

To change this perception, the association discussed the need to interview those who want to join in as a taxi driver.

“If a person is interviewed by checking his conscience, then people will not have negative things to say about the taxi drivers as they do today,” said the BTA’s Vice Chairperson, Dorji Wangdi. “Therefore people with higher authority and common people will place their faith and trust in us,” he added.

The Association’s Representative in Haa, Nima Tshering, also said taxi drivers are portrayed negatively in the society.

“People say so many negative things about us. So we taxi drivers should be an example in the society,” he said. ” Our service should be like a bridge between the people and the government.”

The Bhutan Taxi Association was formed in May this year. Currently they are moving around the country discussing issues with the fellow taxi drivers. After completing their tour, they will be working on their agendas.

There are nearly five thousand taxis in the country.
