A taxi has a meter that records passenger distances. There are different charging rates and so on. How will the Department operate that system for a rickshaw that is carrying passengers in a non-motorised way? Is there some mechanism or will there simply be a standard charge? I am unsure how that would work. We hear of people getting into these rickshaws. One driver charges a tenner while another charges €20 or €30. We must have some way of monitoring revenue. That is the issue.
