Liberia bans motorcycle taxis in Monrovia- BBC

[LequteMan]

A ban on motorcycle taxis has come into force in Liberia's capital, Monrovia, forcing hundreds of commuters to walk to work.

Police set up roadblocks at key intersections to enforce the ban after accusing the bikers of riding recklessly and causing accidents.

The privately owned motorcycle taxis are the main mode of transport in Monrovia and many other African cities.

Some carry up to five people when they are only meant to take two.

Any cyclists caught in the city centre and main roads will have their bikes confiscated and a fine of $200 (£124), according to a police statement read out on state radio on Wednesday.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Its something we can rub in the face of Ghanaians and every other African country. Its why they despise us.
