This morning we have presented the new logos that look the 254 taxis in the municipality.
The new design takes the Cartagena red background with a blue stripe sea and includes the seal of the city within the composition.
The Councillor for Infrastructure and Transport, José Vicente Albaladejo, stressed the need to modernize the service, starting with a logo that was outdated and now presents a more in keeping with the times.
The president of the Union Radio Taxi Cartagena, Isidoro Estupinan, took the opportunity to take stock of the situation by passing the current taxi industry, which considers wasteful due to the influence of the crisis has even forced some professionals to seek another job temporarily.
The bad news has also led to a decrease in incoming calls to request service, some 30,000 less than last year, and a fall of over 60% of the number of users.
Then there is piracy, a problem difficult to detect as explained by the Security council, Tourism and Trade, Javier Herrero, and that to avoid pirates services must act in the time when the illegality is being committed, when be apparent exchange of money, because otherwise generally favors camouflage relatives.
The Local Policiía surveillance has been strengthened during the arrivals of trains and buses are the busiest times of passengers.
TOURIST ROUTES IN TAXI
Taxi Association and the City of Cartagena undertake new initiatives to promote the use of taxi, as pointed out by both Estupinan as Javier Herrero, among which is a tourist route to Cartagena, as complementary to the tourist bus service that currently exists.
This project, expected to be launched early next year, is aimed at both cruise and anyone visiting the city.
The new service will include audio guides and a fixed price and affordable for citizens of some fifty euros for a tour of one hour by the city as nearby tourist areas such as Fort Christmas or Calvary.
