The first time the taxi drivers go to the beginning and the idea  came up of ​​themselves.

  

A triumphal entry for all of them in the  unique and historic transportation service in Barcelona

A very and strog reveindicative sector, which has had to paralyze its service on two important occasions in the city of Barcelona with losses for them and their families for the defense of rights already granted, and which have not been respected. 

Many families depend on the taxi and after the approval of the 15 minutes between service and service, the VTC return without respecting what was agreed and making contracts for a year with customers, illegal trap to jump the space of time established by law a few days.

On the way to Plaza Catalunya, the affectionate words of the citizenship follow. They are also happy, grateful and dancing to the music.

The taxi drivers also belong to a group of about 137 colleagues who are engaged in free social services. They usually do it in strikes, they also provide accompaniment for the elderly who can see the sun during the day and leave their homes throughout the year, or to the beach during the summer.

They also participate in a whole day as an excursion to the reserve for the welfare and conservation of primates in Gerona, with the Mona Foundation.

These animals are so close to man and in extinction with a group of young people with Dawn Syndrome who visit the place, with the help of taxi drivers.
