Valencia Taxi Protest Tuesday to Disrupt Traffic on Planned City Routes

Drivers demand tougher enforcement against VTCs from the regional government.

Overview

  • Two taxi caravans will assemble at 08:00 at Camp de Turia with Cortes Valencianas and at Avenida de Cataluña with Tarongers, depart at 08:30, converge at Plaza España, and head to the 9 d’Octubre administrative complex with an expected arrival around 11:00 and a concentration until 14:00.
  • Local authorities warn of severe disruption across Valencia and key access roads CV-35 and V-21, with a special police traffic operation in place and guidance to use public transport and limit private car travel.
  • Union leaders forecast participation of up to 3,000 taxis in the city and roughly 4,000 drivers regionwide, though these figures are organizers’ estimates.
  • The action is backed by up to six taxi associations, and further joint protests have been agreed on an open-ended basis without a published calendar.
  • Organizers describe a service stoppage from 08:30 to 12:30, with planned stops to deliver letters at City Hall and the regional Transport department, plus information pickets at the airport and major rail and bus stations.
