This is because the union or association at the airport will demand they make a ridiculous fee for picking passengers which will undermine whatever profit they will make from the ride itself.

The situation is so bad that when I do not have much luggage, I walk down towards the exit road which allows me negotiate at regular abuja taxi rate rather than airport rate. For me, this ban is a good development and to the benefit of the passengers

Wait, you walk from the airport terminal to the exit road? Do you understand that road stretch is almost 10Km.. grin? Are you the descendant of Moses in the bible?

No, I am not talking about the main exit at airport junction.

Once you exit the main terminal, there is a road to your right, about 200/300 meters away, close to the location where the food joints are now.

At that side, Taxis no longer charge ridiculously. Last time I came to Abuja, I paid 4k or so to Lugbe, where I typically stay whenever in Abuja cos of more affordable hotels

Good. It should be permanent. Charging 10 - 12k to transport to town is criminal. They should leave the Airport for Bolt and Uber. How much is lokoja to Kaduna or even Kano to Abuja that they are charging that much. Criminals

Omoh, I wan shout o grin!
The charges those airport taxis put on clients, are exorbitant and scary. And that lack of proper transportation avenues has always been the bane of the Abuja airport. Plus lack of organised parking spots.

Lol.

If you're not proactive enough to arrange for a pick-up cab before boarding your flight from wherever to Abuja, your name na sorry be that. Because e-hailing cabs almost always never accept rides from airport clients. Abuja residents will understand.

Why?
Robbery things?

Re: FAAN Suspends Taxi Services At Abuja Airport by Shikena(m): 5:21pm On Aug 03, 2023
We have always been the problem. Those who made it to government positions are all from within us and they are only extending what we do at street level to government level in connivance with the traditional civil "thieves" servants.

Even train stations na war. At the one in Moniya, Ibadan, they make life hell for passengers with no private pickup arrangement who have to cough out close to the cost of business class train ticket from Lagos just to get to their homes. They made sure they formed a union and made it impossible for ride-share to pick people up.

We are who we are, most of our people only complain until they also find a sit at the table of oppression.

It’s the same everywhere I guess. If dem catch you as Bolt/Uber for AIIA for Enugu, bodi go tell you.
how will they know the driver is hired?

I feel this is just an attempt to create market for Bolt and similar platforms.

Those airport cabs don't allow bolt drivers tompick passengers at the airport.

What could this mean for travellers?
From my experience, it means cheaper fares because there's now more competition.

What could this mean for the government?
I feel it means reduced revenue. But it's extra bucks for oga at the top because Bolt and similar platforms could have settled them heavily.

I think government should empower bolt drivers against those Abuja agberos (yes, there are agberos in Abuja, just like every part of the country). People should have the freedom to choose between drop rides and park rides. That's more important than banning the airport cabs.
how will they know the driver is hired? It could appear to be a relative coming to pick me Nah?

No bolt or uber driver will drive to the airport to pick you up. Either you end up using the expensive airport taxis or you walk to the road where you can get regular cabs.

This is good for the ride hailing guys like Uber. They don't need to hide to pick passengers any more.

There also used to be the airport buses that could take many individuals for 7 times less, but it seems some people like the airport taxi owners killed that business.

Trust me, they know.. cheesy.

Your communication with a relative you're picking from the airport is way different from how a cab driver would relate with a client.

It is FAAN that is behind the whole crisis In the airport carpark situation. Before the fuel hike airport taxis charge 7k to Abuja inner city and FAAN collects 2k out of this 7k. Driver will fuel his vehicle and is virtually left with nothing. FAAN prevents the Uber and Bolt boys from operating around the airport because they will not pay the extortion fee. So FAAN use their towing vehicle as a deterent to scare them away from the airport vicinity. If FAAN tows any vehicle around the airport the fine is 25k.
This is why any Uber or Bolt operating around the airport is playing Russian roulette with his vehicle.
However with the increase in fuel prices the airport taxis are refusing to pay FAAN extortion prices because the customers cannot pay the taxis plus FAAN extortion.
This is the reason FAAN has thrown the market open to all comers. The FAAN rouges are no longer able to charge 2k on each cab per trip because no passenger is ready to pay the fee plus the FAAN extortion.

im aware of that, knowing the situation of things, they can plan to act as relatives till at least when they leave the airport's premises.
