The purpose of this operation is to verify drivers’ compliance with certain requirements. Priority will be given to commercial mototaxi drivers operating outside the regulatory tax documents required in the profession. They are required to present the certificate of enrollment in the mototaxi sector cleanup program or any other proof of the driver’s integration into the enrollment platform. The mayor also includes the wearing of the approved vest issued by the Douala City Council. This measure was taken to ensure visual identification certifying the authorization to practice and facilitating recognition by law enforcement officers.
Also, for personal mototaxi drivers, they are required to present valid regulatory documents, including the driver’s license corresponding to the motorcycle category, its duly established registration card, and a valid insurance certificate.
