Three days of control by the Government’s Mobility inspectors in Son Sant Joan in collaboration with the Palma Local Police and the Civil Guard

For three days, at the beginning of Easter, more than 550 vehicles were inspected at Palma airport, including taxis, VTC and coaches, and almost 40 complaint bulletins. The Directorate General of Mobility of the Government of the Balearic Islands, in collaboration with the Local Police of Palma and the Civil Guard Traffic, has developed a new campaign of inspections in Son Sant Joan against the intrusion and control of public passenger transport.

During the last three days, from Tuesday to Maundy Thursday, this new campaign has resulted in a total of 552 vehicles inspected, of which 258 taxis, 189 VTC and 105 occasional transport buses, and the processing of 39 complaint bulletins by the Directorate General of Mobility.

Mobility inspects more than 550 vehicles and opens almost 40 complaints in the campaign against intrusiveness and control of passenger transport services at Palma airport

This means that in this three-day campaign at Palma airport, more than 40% of the VTC fleet and more than 10% of the taxi fleet in Mallorca have been inspected.

The complaint reports were opened for the different types of vehicles inspected: 23 taxis, 11 occasional transport buses and 5 VTCS.

The reasons for the infringements detected were diverse, mainly due to non-compliance with the fare system in the case of taxis, failure to register services in the case of VTCS, and concerning the tachograph and the route sheet for occasional transport buses.

In all these cases, once the entire inspection procedure has been carried out by the technicians, it will be determined whether or not to continue with the sanctioning proceedings in each case.
