Larnaca taxi drivers strike over ‘uncontrolled’ transport applications

Taxi drivers in Larnaca went on strike for four hours on Tuesday morning in protest at what they described as “uncontrolled action by passenger transport applications” in the town, and particularly in and around its airport, arguing that drivers registered further afield are infringing on their custom through those applications.

The Pancyprian federation of urban taxis described the issue as “a matter of professional survival” and said that it has two “clear and non-negotiable demands” over the issue.
