Addis Ababa is preparing to phase out its ageing fleet of Code One taxis as part of a sweeping transformation of the city’s public transport system. The move — driven by a new transportation policy prioritising high-capacity buses and metered taxis carrying more than 25 passengers — aims to ease congestion, reduce air pollution, and modernise urban mobility.
Ato Dagnachew Shiferaw, Operations Director at the Addis Ababa Transport Bureau, said the city’s future strategy focuses on shifting commuters towards larger-capacity public vehicles. “One bus can replace about eight taxis,” he noted, adding that buses are more efficient in terms of road space, fuel economy, and travel affordability. He urged residents to increase their use of public transportation to ensure the long-term sustainability of the city’s mobility network.
Aging Fleet and Compliance Gaps
The Deputy Director of the Transport Bureau’s Operations Department said most Code One taxis no longer meet the city’s taxi service standards, with many vehicles well past their operational lifespan. Instead of a complete phase-out without alternatives, the government plans to support operators in upgrading to high-capacity, metered taxis that can serve more passengers per trip.
