Valencia taxi drivers plan ‘Japanese-style’ strike, offer free rides to protest VTC rules
Valencian taxi unions will stage a ‘Japanese-style strike’, doubling the number of cabs in service and waiving fares on 14 and 18 March to press the regional government for tighter controls on ride-hailing VTC operators. While travellers may enjoy free rides, congestion at key transport nodes is likely, and the action highlights Spain’s uneven landscape of provincial mobility regulations.
