This is not reported because it was white people injured. It was reported because the taxi driver failed to adhere to the rules of the road and in doing so caused an accident.
Shuttle plates Or Taxi Plates.
That sign is there big and broad and people still crossing over there? That taxi driver should know better. And he is going to get sue...
vehicle bearing the S plates shuttle,should be picking up from one destination and dropping off not collecting money.
vehicle bearing the T plates for doing Tours only not collecting money.

vehicle bearing the plates B for bus services only
vehicle bearing the plates T for Taxi are the only vehicle that is allowed by law to transport passengers for reward or hire any other else are illegal.these tourist needs to be educated about out taxi system.there are people who are willfully dis-regarding the laws of the land using shuttle plates to Taxi passengers.and the government turning a blind eye to it.Shuttle are not supposed to be used to Taxing anyone its illegal people.
