Island Taxi Drivers stage protest against ongoing issues of soliciting at ports of entry
On Thursday, January 9th, a group of taxi drivers, accompanied by their federation leaders, protested outside the San Pedro Town Council (SPTC) facilities. They were seeking a meeting with Mayor Gualberto "Wally" Nuñez to address concerns regarding soliciting at the island's water taxi terminals and local airport. The drivers stated that, for years, golf cart rentals have negatively impacted their operations by soliciting at these entry points to San Pedro. They aimed to find a solution that benefits both stakeholders. Although the Mayor was unavailable to meet with the taxi federation members, he conveyed his commitment to meet with them soon, along with Area Representative Honorable Andre Perez and Minister of Transport Honourable Rodwell Ferguson through a spokesperson.
