Western Cape provincial government has joined forces with major commercial banks to develop a better and more modern fleet of taxis.

The aim is to attract more people to use public transport and help ease the traffic congestion in the city.

Transports and Public Works MEC Maruis Fransman said that he had met with the representatives of Standard Bank, First International and ABSA on Friday.

Fransman told the Weekend Argus Sunday that the idea was to reduce the number of private vehicles on roads and make public transport safer and more user friendly.
