Endless wait at Rome Termini for taxis
Taxi, the war explodes again in Rome after the Municipality’s plan to increase the licenses by a thousand units and the increase in the minimum fare: Codacons announces battle against the Municipality of Rome, and the association is ready to challenge the TAR of Lazio taxi plan studied by the Capitoline administration, also resorting to the Antitrust.
“Our rejection of the new measures launched by the Capitol is total – states President Carlo Rienzi – These are measures that will exclusively benefit taxi drivers and will harm users on all fronts. The minimum tariff of 9 to 12 euros, for example, is in all respects a blow for citizens and will introduce hidden increases to the detriment of consumers who use the service. The increase in licenses, however, appears like a shameful almsgiving: 1,000 more white cars are absolutely insufficient, compared to a need ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 more taxis in the capital, and over 4 million outstanding calls in 2023 , over 30% of the total”.
Rienzi: “We will block the process of the new tender”
“For this reason we are ready to block in the bud the process started by the Municipality of Rome for the new tender on taxis, challenging all the administration’s acts before the TAR, asking for their suspension and the appointment of an ad acta commissioner who will implement a truly effective plan. effective for the city, and by presenting a complaint to the Antitrust as acts seriously detrimental to consumer rights” – concludes Rienzi.
