No idea hahaha.
We also have tourist calling cabs and also Uber which are used daily by visitors.
The taxis were started as a self regulated industry with no government involvement. It mushroomed overnight and many unemployed guys got themselves a minibus and they established some independent ruling associations. Now there are thousands of these minibuses running around in every town and city in the country and there's nothing that the government can do about it.
If they get unhappy about many fines or other issues, they simply block the main highways with many parked taxies and nobody can get to work. So they are best to be left alone doing what they do by ferrying people.
Besides, it's a good employment creator and we desperately need every job that we can find.
Cheers and thanks!
