When demand falls, the logic required to reduce supply. Under this maxim, as primitive as evident, the Metropolitan Taxi Institute (GTI) today approved a major amendment of the regulation governing this group to get reduce the number of vehicles with two drivers, that is, to curb the increase of taxis that run all day, two drivers and double shifts.
The measure, an old claim of Union Taxi de Catalunya (Stac), you must be ratified next week by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority will enter into force within 30 days. Apply for one year, renewable depending on progress made with the crisis in a sector with a turnover, say the drivers themselves has dropped over 30%.
In just five years, the number of licenses operated double shift has gone from 830 to nearly 2,600, a situation that the chairman of Stac, Luis Berbel, described as "untenable" given the "huge slump in demand." "The quality of life of the driver is increasingly bad. We have to work 14 to 16 hours to earn a few years ago we succeeded in 10 or 12 ", reported yesterday Berber. The increase in double-shift vehicles began to soar following the adoption of the law of the taxi, in 2003. This rule eliminated the full-time taxi driver and let a professional from another sector buy a license for the burst with two drivers.
The new regulation will make a snapshot of the collective, ie, no more taxis will appear double shift but rather the opposite: the two drivers licenses from being transferred to lose that privilege, and if one of the two conductors is canceled and no substitute within 30 days, will also cancel the permit.
