The taxi strike continues on Thursday (04/12)

The strike was initially called for a 48-hour period by the Panhellenic Federation of Professional Taxi Drivers (ΠΟΕΙΑΤΑ), demanding urgent action on a series of issues. The federation’s key requests include:

• Extension of the electric vehicle mandate until 2035.
• Combatting unfair competition posed by multinational ride-hailing services.
• Immediate action against the theft of work by private cars (E.I.X.).
• Increase in fare rates and the minimum rental charges across the country.
• Re-negotiation for allowing loaded taxis into dedicated lanes.
• Implementation of outstanding issues from pending legislative bills.
• Adjustment of taxi fare tariffs.
• Fair tax treatment for the sector.

The drivers are demanding a meeting with the Ministry of Transport, and if their demands are not addressed, they are prepared to escalate their actions further .
