Government lifts the recent ban on movement of taxi-bikes and tricycles

All suspension measures relative to public transport announced on April 4 are lifted until April 11, 2020.” The government’s decision was broadcasted on the national TVT channel on April 5, 2020. 

Therefore, taxi-bikes (also known as “zemidjans”), and tricycle drivers can resume activity for six days. 

The government, it should be noted, has taken steps to support the most disadvantaged social and professional groups. In the meantime, public authorities “trust in citizens’ sense of sacrifice to align with efforts made to prevent the spread of covid-19.”

As mentioned in the broadcasted statement, the government had banned on April 4, the movement of taxi-bikes and tricycles in the Grand Lomé area (located in the Gulf and Agoè-Nyivé préfecture). The decision was made by the minister of infrastructure and transport, Zouréhatou Kassah-Traoré, and the minister of security and civil defense, Yark Damehane.
