7:32 am
the city's transport systems all. and what's really the best way to get around on your daily commute. so coming to a need for the ride, and we find that the one of the over 10 years of being a taxi driver. and how did you start? what made you decide that you wanted to be the i a license, i told her that if i dropped the way i would get the money. okay. okay.
7:33 am
okay. so because, i mean, obviously the employment situation inside every guy's the down there on the time. yeah. so what, what did you do? who did you approach? i was, i wasn't the guys, i knew i got a license. is that going to be something you're the only fund funded that i'm that on with us. i just the, the good guy with him also with i was the one guy understanding. yeah. ever since i've been dialing the even a step in bellville, who that will take serious, double check today on the way to tell him how important the text is very important
7:34 am
. yes, they are cheap and reliable fitted entry. let me say rather like this, tell me what you'll do because i was actually talking to lindsey right now about the differences between texas and training and really from a safety point which do you prefer? i prefer texting. and why is that? because i think most times in change it's so past that you don't know what's behind you. it's just not an nice environment to have. what about have you ever considered that as a motive possible because i'm so used to text me. i prefer taking it because i can just get out of my house and take it back with the bus. they have time to give me some time or you know the time you may miss it. but with a taxi at least you it's like 16 passengers. yes. you kind of know your drive up by now, could you take the savings every day? so there's that. it's to other than that,
7:35 am
i love the experience. yeah. because i mean having hanging out with lindsey edward gregory, i'm getting that you know, the energy, the experience. there's like, yeah, like the, if you had a choice of any other job that you've been during the world with just to be choosing to get that cuz i know enough for my family to say for, for my family to go on the pictures for them. i can see so i guess the news of
7:36 am
when you say your family doesn't want you to be a taxi driver. yeah. references texas too long ago, but not securely on the but with a zip code either. either way i live in diesels or texas. i must go with live in, so they taking uh those guys that i think about people is taking all money out of this place. so the territories, the life of dependent on how much money they can bring in the more money, if they can make that more money, they can bring to the about 8 pounds, but also more money they can make for themselves. so now this and cottages actually
7:37 am
things such as little reckless, driving overload the because the whole body thing in the bottom. and, you know, it says that it's based on 5 of the features. so that is the bit because talents which we think if we ever get to a point where the industry is subsidized, so your quote, then you meet that you have a more about element of chasing profits. how would you see that system working? so government would intervene by offering a subsidy to son tucker. would that would it would then disseminate towards the associates and explain that model to me. you have experimented with it. yeah. and that was been k ended where it was not as a subsidy. it was also a way of monitoring outside of us checking on behavior. and they sticking to the roads. and they driving pro, probably hospitalized king high school, not being all those kinds of things because the technology is installed in all
7:38 am
divisions about participate in that program. so there was a little time one to tiring and not only that, it also provided an element of safety. for all the icons on a tech doing and not 5, it takes the so with that modest, it took me its headings to see where the i can pull out a text and then bring it back. any ducking style and he's going to tie me and see how i do. if i were to be a tech to the they might be a few to them. you know, i thought this is safety, been safety, been put under the bed, the bed, the deal. we have so many different things and also people, people of it takes the
7:39 am

7:41 am
. yeah. yeah. so 2 words and then was safe to because the buttons as we have, we have this like what i'm, we say 3 big video. we see a button out of things that are cheap. all a metal frame is on fire in cape town. another chain has been consumed by fire and cape tons of calls to fix tens of thousands of working class people. walking alongside these railway tracks. i'm reminded of black, you must, you can assume is the man i see humbug on my life here, which is this one that spoke about trains of transported men as a sort of work to feed the families coming from various parts of africa. and as i'm exploring the story about the transport mix in the city of taped on, i think about the daily commute of parents and people. and you know,
7:42 am
that are trying to be the families and creating the future for them. at a less this picture that we see behind me, pains less than desirable speaks of what is in terms of the railway line. of course they are a few issues that keep tongue has faced when it comes to its railway system. the passenger rail agency of south africa has found itself in very challenging times. most recently having 5, it's form a c o for the 3rd time. that doesn't exactly inspire confidence in terms of the stability of the organization that has been massive issues with the vandalize ation of these key resources in what they doing. of course, the peek in bias that ravaged carriages in 20182019 that caused loads of millions in los and the question of how does it get back to it's up to in space? how does the entire trans put mix up in my,
7:43 am
the city get back to where he needs to be in order to allow this beautiful city to be the gateway to africa that people hope it can be the waiting stock to for is that moses, we have this same spect is of the company to find my way to people live with people with way to access the meetings to help and the school leading as well as the end of the day, otto is to ensure that we able people that reside and where they need to continue to victory, ensure that the, or at least the options available to them outside is, would have had to intervene it to see how can we move people in the fosters most efficient way. the
7:44 am
new this raise that sees no dna just always say, and it's used to describe something with someone that is 100 percent proud to the south african and this very weird 100 percent electric vehicle is exactly such a product is made by a company called mil events and they are an event to disrupt the in the mobility 6, they're charging the way going into what is possibly the future of an economy that has not been quite tough into in the south african market. and today i have the opportunity to meet with the founder of miller vans meal group. lia will tell me with little about his story and how this could really be paving the way poured into a drive to the, to the whole one and experience product for the that enjoyed. it was absolutely amazing.
