It was a round week for taxi drivers: they authorized them an increase in the rate, they endulzaron them the ear with the possibility of charging 500 pesos more if accidents in this type of service are reduced by 20%. And finally, the Mayor told them that parses put an end to the peak and plate, that today is home to at least 11,000 taxisevery day.
Oh, and to top it off, announced is heavy-handed for the illegal taxi services acrossdigital platforms, über type, which includes the immobilization of vehicles and suspension of licenses of transit to their drivers and property to their owners.
By that, the Guild of the ' yellow ' is of suavely. Or more was missing. They got in 48hours what were surely asking for years, even, the possibility of increasing the quotafor taxis.
Reactions were swift. If people denied initially by rising in the checkered flag 200 weights, do not mean them what they said when it was learned it from the 500 pesos extra for doing what everyone should do on the road, including drivers of particular truck, bus, TransMilenio or bicycle: handle well, avoid accidents, not to commit offences. Under those circumstances, all us mereceríamos those 500 pesos.
But let's say that you as a pedagogical exercise as a form of encouragement to a Guild that is seven days a week and 24 hours on the street, the risk of being involved in an incident is higher and therefore measure what search is to reduce those figuresfor the sake of the common good. Ready.
But why do you have to be with silver as recognize those achievements? That goodbehavior not could reward taxi users just by going more to them in return for a good deal? If they give me an excellent service and quality food in a restaurant, rest assured that back and increase the gratuity. That is exactly what happens with Uber.
The exercise should work the other way around: taxi drivers give sample of honesty,professionalism and care when driving and users on their real knowledge and understanding, to decide whether or not they reward this behavior. I often have given something extra money for a career only because the talk with the driver seemed great. But force to the passenger to pay because them accidents in the city is reduce is as tell you that has that pay something additional because them streets look more clean or because the police complies with its duty of capture thieves.
And we dutifully pay taxes, us not hang, we donate 10 per cent for works, do the row in TransMilenio, we slipped not, not throw papers on the street and speak well ofthe city, such as how much they will go us to recognize, economically speaking?
The issue is not easy to digest. Hand, is the situation same of them drivers-extensivedays of work, the most not are owners of the truck, not enjoy of safety social, are professional frustrated-, and by another, that whenever is speaks of incentives for them taxi drivers immediately come to the mind of them users them images of the lasttime that les said that not had turns , the dozens of times that not collected them because the taxi driver went to another side, the day that threatened to lower them truck because claimed you for the cost of a career. And thousand cases more.
And what such them images of drivers that assault, hit, threaten and destroy cars white before it look astonished of the police?
If the Administration wants to encourage taxi service, first you must put an end to the stigma that has been generated against the Guild. And for this is essential that, as it said the own mayor Peñalosa, is listen to the users, that each time more come toanother type of services with such of feel is safe and worthily served.
Meanwhile, ads like those that occurred this week only happy owners of the 'yellow'- who remain in debt with the safety of its drivers - and very irresponsible driver feels that behave as they behave it is as things get. Monona!
