It was the press and social networks that alerted the customers of these two operators who have many passengers in Cotonou. There ” suspension is immediate » for Yango, orders the Land Transport Directorate, which is worth the immobilization of all its vehicles. The failings attributed to Yango are numerous: “ Yango is not known to anyone, its leaders too, even their drivers know nothing about their leaders, they have no headquarters », underlines the director, Jacques Ayadji.
“ We are not against activity »
The authorities are waiting for Yango to complete the formalities in force; “ we are not against activity » underlines Jacques Ayadji who concludes: “ Let them do it for the safety of passengers “.
The second operator Gozem is asked for regularization within two months. It is because it has a known seat that it escapes immediate suspension. If the suspension is respected, for passengers, there will remain the choice between the fleet Benign state-owned taxi, public transport buses – not always comfortable – and motorcycle taxis.
