TVDE drivers require more regulation, the non -inclusion of taxis in the sector and ask for a minimum amount per kilometer to be paid.
On the morning of Monday, the demonstration of drivers TVDE began in Campo Grande, in Lisbon, and went towards the Assembly of the Republic. Workers require greater regulation, the non -inclusion of taxis in the sector and ask for a minimum amount per kilometer to be paid.
“Old in eight hours, nine hours, it was hard not to do 220 euros in a day. Now, to reach 100 euros we have to start at night, at dawn, nine in the evening, and end at nine in the morning,” SIC told SIC one of the drivers.
“We have trips from five kilometers to € 2.89, this is a shame. Apart from the rates that both Bolt and Uber practice. ”
In this second demonstration in less than half a year, dozens of drivers and statches require that there is a minimum value per kilometer and want to be heard by parties, especially to support them to regulate the sector. In concrete are against two proposals: one from PSD and one from IL. PSD proposes to bring taxis to the digital platform sector.
“I have already met with the president of the Taxi Federation and do not want to enter the TVDE platforms. We did not realize why the PSD made a point of presenting this proposal and makes no sense to be regular deregulating, bringing even more unfair competition, without regulation and No criteria, “said Victor Soares, president of the National Movement TVDE Association.
There are already marked audiences at least with the PS, PSD, free and BE.
There are 16,000 legalized companies for TVDE service in Portugal and, in total, about 70,000 drivers.
