Overview
- Organizers say more than 1,000 cabs will drive from the Tambre industrial estate to San Caetano in Santiago on Oct. 29 to demand action from the Xunta.
- Uber-related VTC activity in Vigo has grown since June, with at least 30 cars reported by La Voz de Galicia and roughly 50 cited by Faro de Vigo.
- Five Madrid-based firms are identified behind the Vigo rollout—Black Cars, Cibeles Comfort Cars, Serviauto Madrid SL, Flatiron Trust and Oliana Movilidad—with vehicles often domiciled in coworking spaces and one address flagged as non-existent.
- Vigo has opened sanction files after denying local VTC requests, and the Xunta says it has sent 17 infringement reports—some from Guardia Civil inspections—to the city, which it deems competent to penalize.
- Regional rules allow only intermunicipal VTC trips, leaving urban control to local ordinances that are absent or in flux, as shown by A Coruña’s draft rules and a low-emission zone measure paused over VTC omissions.
