Entrepreneurs stagger with the “Day Without Taxis” in Cancun

Although they condemned the blockades of the taxi drivers of the Cancun Taxi Drivers Unioncarried out in the hotel zone and demanded a strong hand from the authorities against those responsible, today they opined against the citizen initiative, “January 27, day without taxis”, most businessmen are against this motion.

“Look, I can’t make that recommendation, I don’t think they should pay just for sinners, there are many taxi drivers who are understanding that they have to enter into healthy competition, I don’t think we should go against the public transportation service, which is what tourism or population is moved by a few who did a truly shameful act by blocking communication routes. I would not promote that, I think that it is up to each person how they express their rejection of taxi drivers”, edward martinezCaribbean CCE.

There were businessmen who indicated neutrality in the face of the situation, such as Julio Villarreal, who in his case has already followed up on complaints of sexual abuse of restaurant employees against taxi drivers.

“It is a citizen call, the citizenry also has every right to demonstrate against a bad service provider such as the taxi, everyone has their way of thinking and their independence to do so, I believe that at the end of the day the one who wants to take this position will take it”. Julio Villarreal, Canirac Cancun.

Other businessmen spoke out against the measure that citizens have implemented due to the exhaustion caused by taxi drivers and the null action of mobility institutions.

“Look, it is not supporting or harming anyone, unfortunately the citizens are asking for it, it is something that is of free will, there are families that live from it and there is an economic spillover that they generate, it is not worth it, it is not fair and whoever considered it Do it” Francisco FernandezANQR

The Coparmex Quintana Roo supported the actions of the citizens and reiterated the support of the business community to the government to help enforce the rule of law.

“I believe that citizens have the right to express themselves, at the end of the day it is the citizens who are being affected, in the case that we have seen on video that they get off the uber in a violent way, I believe that the citizenry has the right to convene in peace as we ask, without violence”, Angélica Frías, coparmex.
