Recent incidents have sparked public outcry over the actions of taxi association patrollers who have reportedly blocked, questioned, and even seized vehicles of motorists who give others a lift. This includes instances of patrollers demanding fees from drivers for transporting family, friends, or hitchhikers, with some motorists facing intimidation or harassment on public roads. These practices have raised concerns about road safety, freedom of movement, and the need for government intervention.
