Liberal Democrats with Salvini? We are not taxis to enter Parliament. We must be worthy of the people who are resisting in Ukraine; Action is a place where the spirit is high and idealism comes before everything else.” #politica #centrodestra #alleanza (translated)

Our profitability continues to be threatened by unfair competition and by a platform model that operates with free prices. A price increase does little good if we continue to lose services while the number of VTCs competing with us increases. Alberto Álvarez, alias Tito, founder of Élite Taxi, commented from his refuge on a Venezuelan Caribbean island, where he has been lately, that “our profitability continues to be threatened by unfair competition and by a platform model that operates with free prices. A price increase does little good if we continue to lose services while the number of VTCs competing with us increases.” Apparently, based on what was seen in these meetings - Álvarez stated - STAC and ATC are betting on the Madrid model, to legalize the thousands of VTCs that are already demanding their regularization in the courts instead of proposing that they can become taxi drivers. We cannot negotiate a few cents of increase while leaving unanswered the possibility that thousands of VTCs obtain urban authorization and compete with us with free prices in the hands of the platforms. This shows that the narrative of Aliança Catalana, VOX, and Junts is taking hold in the sector.

Daniel F. Briceño said that his bill sought to legalize transportation platforms like Uber and Didi and provide benefits to taxi drivers. He explained that he proposed dismantling the quota system, allowing dynamic pricing for taxi drivers using platforms, eliminating what he considered unnecessary paperwork, and modernizing service regulations. He also proposed a non-tax contribution of 1.5% of the platforms' revenue, destined for training transporters, housing programs for taxi drivers, drivers, and transporters, road infrastructure, and health protection and coverage for drivers. Briceño stated that the initiative aimed to level the playing field between taxis and platforms and put an end to a dispute that, in his opinion, did not benefit anyone. #Transporte #Uber #Taxistas (translated)
