The Secretary-General of the Tunisian Union of Private Taxi Drivers confirmed his refusal of the proposed increase in private taxi fares. Khabouchi considered the 300-millimes increase in private taxi fares, from 900 m to 1,200 m, “illogical,” particularly in light of the difficult economic conditions the country is experiencing.
Khabouchi pointed out on Thursday that the sector provides services to citizens while they are not receiving their most basic rights. He also pointed to the significant increase in car prices, which have surpassed 60,000 dinars.
The sector is suffering from a dire situation.
The same source added that the sector is experiencing an incredibly dire situation due to the absence of union activity, which is impacting the psychological state of its workers, who are suffering from a state of confusion due to this vacuum, according to his description. He called on unionists to take action to meet the demands of professionals and improve their conditions.
