Overview
- Taxi associations carried out a 24-hour stoppage on 25 February, suspending service except for emergencies and staging a large march through central Valencia.
- Organizers said about 3,000 taxis took part, with service halted at the airport, the Joaquín Sorolla AVE station, Estació del Nord and the bus station, and no incidents reported.
- VTC organizations mounted a slow-march protest on 26 February against the planned rules, warning that curbs on urban activity could cost around 5,000 jobs and cut ride supply by 40%.
- The regional transport department says it is finalizing a decree to safeguard the taxi service and regulate VTC operations, though the text has not been published.
- Vice president and infrastructure minister Vicente Martínez Mus announced a meeting next week with taxi and VTC representatives to work toward a solution.
