Why are there still small taxis roaming Kigali’s streets?

Editor, Last week, I was shocked when some taxi conductor attempted to force us into his small ‘twegerane’ when a comfortable coaster was available.

Editor,

Last week, I was shocked when some taxi conductor attempted to force us into his small ‘twegerane’ when a comfortable coaster was available.

I have nothing against these small vehicles fundamentally; however his taxi was not only small but also seemed like one in a dangerous mechanical state. As I tried to explain why I’d prefer the coaster to his old vehicle, the man vehemently refused to listen.

People refer coasters because they are comfortable and if we will pay a similar amount of money, then I think that we should be inconvenienced. 

I think it would be great if government considers the use of only coasters for town service
