Glenn Ramadhin

Glenn Ramadhin is the chairman of the Vereniging van Taxihouders in Suriname (Vetahos) and the director of Tourtonne Taxi, the largest taxi company in Suriname with nearly four hundred vehicles. Recently, he has been in the news for announcing an imminent increase in national taxi fares due to rising gasoline prices and fluctuating currency exchange rates, which have significantly impacted the livelihoods of taxi drivers. Ramadhin has expressed concerns about the economic challenges facing the industry, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and potential geopolitical tensions in the region. His company has adapted by embracing new technology, such as a digital app for taxi bookings, while he continues to advocate for better regulation and support for the taxi sector.
