Motorcyclists are not allowed to carry other passengers besides drivers.
Addis Ababa City Administration Transport Bureau has banned motorcyclists from loading other passengers besides drivers.
The bureau recalled that it has issued a motorcycle license and inspection directive to prevent traffic accidents and illegal activities caused by motorcycles in the capital.
Many members of the Diaspora are currently entering the country following calls for Ethiopians living abroad, Ethiopians of Ethiopian descent and Ethiopian friends to return home.
In connection with this, it is the holiday season and many of the city’s residents are moving from place to place, he said, adding that there are signs of traffic congestion and robbery in the city.
Therefore, the bureau has issued a work order to the concerned body to monitor and take action against motorcyclists for an indefinite period of time starting from December 22, 2014.
