Another bottleneck caused by post-war staffing problems continues to plunge Europe into tourist madness, and tourists on arrival face the “further tourist chaos” found in Europe. We are talking about taxi services, as well as car-sharing problems: all this, as well as airlines, airports, and hotel services, are starting to cause huge disruptions – now tourists stand in line for hours to rent a taxi or car rental.
The “fasting syndrome” in the form of a shortage of drivers and cars, and therefore – huge delays and queues caught up with tourists at the airports of Mallorca and Ibiza. Problems with long queues for taxis have been reported in other tourist destinations, including Barcelona, the Costa del Sol, and Palma.
Representatives of the aggregators blamed the problem on the lack of drivers. Bill Morages, president of the Taxi Association, told the Majorca Daily Bulletin: “No solution can be found in the short term. This is madness. Everything is overloaded, everything is unstable. This has never happened before. We can’t handle all the traffic, “the expert said. He estimates that there are about 500 drivers in Mallorca alone, and in Ibiza, the problem is twice as bad.
There are also problems with public transport. It will be recalled that on the other side of Europe, in Dublin, tourists were warned about very expensive car sharing. The problem is also in the pandemic – in two years the companies have greatly reduced their fleet.
Meanwhile, tourists, frightened by the general chaos, continue to “hand in tickets” and cancel tours. Read the details at the link.
