They added, most of the companies have closed shop and as a result of this they find it difficult to find passengers. Some drivers told the daily, during a routine survey the corona pandemic has affected their income and made it difficult for them to deal with the meter system.

On the other hand, a number of taxi users complained about the high fare. One of the taxi users says the taxi drivers have raised the fare unreasonably, pointing out that he paid two dinars for going from the Salmiya Fire Station to a clinic on the Fourth Ring Road.
