A second meeting for taxi owners and operators will be held tomorrow at Clearwater Middle School starting at 7pm.According to a Government press release, the meetings are intended to be fact-finding gatherings.This will give stakeholders a chance to provide input to assist the committee in preparing recommendations in a report to the Minister by the end of April.Views will be sought on whether there is a need for a taxi authority, whether they believe this could work for Bermuda's taxi system and how they see such an authority functioning.
