Taxi Union Threatens
Protest If Porteo Not Eliminated
The taxi union is threatening triplicating
the actions of the porteadores (informal
taxis) if the legislators does not vote in
favour of eliminating the porteo from the
commercial code.
The Foro Nacional de Taxis is expecting that
on Wednesday legislators vote in favour of
eliminating the article that prohibits the "porteo
de personas", thus eliminating once and for
all informal taxi services in Costa Rica.
If the contrary, the taxi union has
threatened to take to the streets on
Thursday in protest.
On the other side of the argument, the
porteadores are expecting the legislator to
vote against the removal of the porteo. In
the event that legislator vote in favour of
the removal, they too have threatened more
action.
Last week porteadores took to the streets
and police has to tear gas and force to
remove a group blocking traffic.
The porteadores haven't said when they will
take to the streets to protest if the
legislation goes against them, but assure
that protests will take place.
