The Professional Taxi Federation of Madrid from today low rates. The president of the employers, Julio Sanz, explained to the newspaper that the rates of area A (Madrid capital) will remain the same, but the area B of the unified area which comprises 46 municipalities in the Community, such as Rivas Vaciamadrid- be reduced by 0.15 euros per kilometer and rate 3 (the most expensive) disappears. Sanz stresses that the new tariff system “will benefit a large number of users.” The initiative was proposed by the council of the capital and subsequently was approved by the Community of Madrid.
To launch these new rates, the federation held today an event at the fairgrounds IFEMA in the capital where “taximeter will adapt to the new system,” said Sanz. It is expected that more than a thousand vehicles pass by during these days (depending on the days rid) to make the necessary adjustments. In addition, the employer introduces an advertising campaign that will be displayed on the vehicles themselves, with which seeks to convey the taxi is a means of “cheap, safe, comfortable and efficient” transportation.
The manager denies These actions constitute a response to competition that comes platforms like Uber, Bla or Cabify, and argues that the new rates are adapted to the economic climate. “We lowered prices to encourage the use of the taxi,” notes Sanz. The truth is that this sector has starred in recent months many protests against Uber, technological application designed to enable individuals to share vehicles. On Tuesday, the Commercial Court No. 2 of Madrid considered the actions requested by the Madrid Association of Taxi and ordered the cessation of activity Uber throughout Spain.
