Taxi owners on Tuesday decided to escalate labour action in view of the tough stance adopted by the Infrastructure, Transport and Networks ministry, announcing an indefinite strike.
The decision was taken by the taxi-owners' association Sata late on Tuesday afternoon and overturned an earlier decision to prolong the strike by just 24 hours, until 5:00 a.m. on Thursday.
An announcement on Sata's website dismissed news reports that the strike will end on Friday as unfounded and untrue.
"The 48-hour warning strike will continue indefinitely since there has been no change and no meeting with the appropriate ministry," the announcement said, noting that the strike will continue and, for the time being, had no specific termination date.
The association apologised to the public for being unable to cover its transport needs and said that a minimum number of vehicles throughout the country will be on call at taxi companies, available for phone bookings in the case of medical emergencies only.
