Taxi and tourism drivers in the Dominican Republic protested outside the Casa Presidencial, objecting to the recently permitted access of drivers working for digital platforms to airports. The protestors are requesting a dialogue with officials to discuss their concerns regarding this new access. They specifically seek to maintain their established special base at the airports, fearing unfair competition. The protest has caused traffic disruptions, prompting authorities to advise commuters to use alternative routes. The drivers argue the digital platforms threaten their livelihoods and the regulated tourism transport system. They are seeking government intervention to ensure a level playing field and safeguard their industry. This demonstration underscores growing tensions within the Dominican Republic’s transport sector over the integration of new technology and business models.
