Q Would you be prepared to report a minibus driver for speeding?
I would report them for sure. People have become more concerned about the speeding problem of minibuses. I am glad that some action is finally being taken. I used to never dare complain to minibus drivers and risk making them mad. This would make them more prone to accidents. I am scared to death to ride on minibuses.
These drivers deserve a tougher penalty. We must act now and not wait for the next accident.

Q Should passengers be prosecuted for fare bargaining?
What has this got to do with your headline 'Taxi Driver who gave discount jailed' (City, November 11)? Newspapers should clarify, rather than confuse, issues.
The taxi driver in question was not jailed for agreeing to give discounts. He was jailed for issuing receipts for fares greater than those paid. There is a big difference. Fare bargaining, provided that no coercion or deception of an employer or the Inland Revenue is involved, does not, and should not, constitute a crime.
