Abstract: (french)
Le présent article se propose d’analyser les épineux problèmes de la régulation de taxis-motos dans la ville de Kinshasa au regard des abus et de l’anarchie observée dans ce secteur de transport. Cette étude se veut aussi une occasion de parler des incidences socio-culturelles, économiques, sécuritaire, et autres des taxis-motos dans la vie de la population kinoise, d’une part; et dans le système de gestion politico-administrative de cette mégalopole, d’autre part. Cet article établit la corrélation entre une gouvernance défaillante des autorités urbaines et acteurs impliqués dans la gestion de taxis-motos à Kinshasa, il met en évidence la nécessité d’adapter les moyens d’action aux contextes économique, politique local et d’opérationnaliser le management de transport pour y remédier. L’analyse s’articule autour de la nécessité de promouvoir une régulation ou règlementation effective de la mototaxi et de créer un cadre de participation s’appuyant sur des consultations ouvertes à un large éventail de parties prenantes.
