The last Plenary Session of the Cabildo approved that the regulatory ordinances of the Taxi Service in the seven municipalities of the Island incorporate legal mechanisms to demand the adherence of taxi drivers to the renamed Auriga System and make it, definitively, effective. In principle, Tías plans to take the regulations to a plenary vote next week, and as they already stated at the time, the majority of employees in the municipality are positioned against the proposal and insist on creating their own communications system.
This Friday they will have a meeting with the mayor of Tías, José Juan Cruz Saavedra, to receive information about the regulations. For the moment, they present themselves with a belligerent attitude and accuse the highest authority of the Town Hall of "showing extraordinary ways and abilities not to defend the interests of taxi drivers, evidencing a total lack of concern for the sector", before the imminent approval of the modification of the ordinance.
The taxi drivers of the municipality are opposed to joining the Radio? Taxi headquarters that the Cabildo has acquired and that intends to put into operation on February 28. But their disagreement also lies in the way this initiative is adopted. "Without consensus, without dialogue and without sufficient motivation", the sector in Tías believes.
As they already announced at the time, they have warned again about the intention to acquire their own communications system, similar to Auriga, self-managed by the sector and whose only control depends only on the Town Hall. "It is worth remembering that the taxi drivers of the municipality have always been in agreement to acquire a radio-taxi center and to acquire new equipment, more modern and technologically developed, that contribute to improving the provision of the taxi, with greater effectiveness and efficiency", explain the employees.
