“In The Bahamas, the ability to do that is not where it needs to be, because you can’t use your private vehicle to transport persons,” he said. “You, as a private citizen who has a vehicle that has regular passenger insurance, you cannot use that vehicle." What a silly comment! Any Uber driver must have specific insurance that covers commercial use. What the taxicab Union dislikes is that Uber has standards regarding the type and age of vehicle used, which does not sit well with the taxi drivers and their derelict vehicles.
Question: Why don't these Bahamian professionals start their own company in the financial services industry? They would certainly benefit from lower costs, not having to pay for work permits and expat benefits. What other financial centre depends solely on foreign institutions? This is not a healthy industry.
