Gironde: after the farmers, taxis also block the Bordeaux ring road. Other similar actions have been announced elsewhere in France, such as in Lyon or Marseille.
Taxis fear that the new conditions will force them to take additional discounts on their rates for medical transportation, while forcing them to carpool patients. Medical transport represented reimbursements of nearly 5.5 billion euros in 2022, and 65 million trips were made over the year for taxis and light medical vehicles (VSL) alone.
