Taxis operate from 4am daily

I always knew that taxis start operating from 4AM but I had not experienced it, till I had to be at work by 5:30 AM.

We only start noticing the value and hardwork of the next person the minute they are our only hope of help, the taxi associations are really working hard to help surrounding communities to travel efficiently from in the early hours of the morning.

For me to walk from my house to the taxis , gave me my biggest freight, anything could have happened to me but through the help of community night patrollers and taxis that are available every 2-5 minutes, I know I will be safe and I'm going to get to work on time, i was surprised that most people that travel using a taxi, they mostly know each other , using a taxi early in the morning means , you need to form a family, and the taxi does deliveries and fetches everyone and does deliveries , its those moments where you realize how much gratitude should be installed in us as commuters.

What does 4 am mean?

4AM means the taxi driver wakes up from 3 am, they need to prepare themselves and start working, do pickups and drive people to their destinations, id love to pass my gratitude towards every taxi driver that makes these effort.
