On one of the questions I had asked about the separate consultation process, when it became clear that the drivers had not engaged with the initial public consultation process, I was looking to see how many drivers engaged or was it rickshaw business owners who engaged?

Going back to the fact that the Minister plans to ban the motorised rickshaws, regardless of motorised and non-motorised rickshaws looking the same, practically every other city in the world has managed to regulate motorised rickshaws so I wonder if the taxi industry had a part in the decision based on the fact that as I have said, every other city seems to have managed to regulate both pedal powered and motorised rickshaws?
