The W.H.O., MSF, CDC, national health ministries and other contributing organizations can't safely regulate or pay the fare on these desperation cabbie rides to already-full urban EVD care centers and hospitals as EVD infection moves from the country to the city:

Cabbies, Passengers Split Over WHO Ebola ‘Hot Source’ Report

'Monrovia - The World Health Organization (WHO) warned this week that motorbike-taxis and regular taxis are "a hot source of potential Ebola virus transmission" because they are not disinfected in Liberia, where conventional Ebola control measures "are not having an adequate impact". The report comes amid growing concerns that cultural traditions and congestions of public transportation are contributing to the widespread of the virus.'

In Monrovia, taxis carry family members thought to be infected with the Ebola virus, crisscross the city, searching for a treatment bed. There is none. As WHO staff in Liberia confirm, no free beds for Ebola treatment exist anywhere in the country.”

This photo-report reveals the tragic, chaotic desperation as EVD moves from the country to the city:
