Moroccan taxi drivers are protesting the government’s decision to end exceptional fuel subsidies, citing increased financial strain. The removal of the subsidy coincides with growing competition from ride-hailing apps, which drivers describe as creating “chaos.” Drivers are demanding the government clarify the reasoning behind the subsidy cut and take action to regulate the app-based transportation services. They argue these apps operate unfairly and are damaging their livelihoods. The taxi professionals express concerns about the unrestricted proliferation of these services, claiming they are operating openly with little oversight. This situation has sparked anger within the taxi driver community, placing further pressure on a sector already facing economic challenges. Hespress reports the drivers are seeking government intervention to level the playing field.
