The professionals of Agadir’s small taxis have joined a new electronic platform in order to reduce the current confrontation with intelligent applications which now compete with taxis in the transport of citizens.
After a bitter struggle with smart customer transportation applications in the city, as in other cities, and while no official initiative has been taken by the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Transport and Logistics to restrict the activity of drivers who do not have professional status and do not provide a public service as we know.
Small taxi professionals have started to compete by offering their services on the basis of a new platform created by young people from the city of Agadir, in order to cope with the wave of intelligent applications popular with citizens and which constitute a threat to professionals and their daily lives, so that they in turn engage in this new application which, in my opinion, offers customers a reliable alternative to other solutions, sometimes questionable.
Many Agadir drivers began joining the new platform after more than 400 petit taxis were registered there during its launch, hoping to reduce the control of smart apps over citizens’ transportation.
