WILLEMSTAD - There are no protests by taxi drivers against illegal taxis. That message came out earlier this week, but turns out to be wrong, according to taxi union Sinusta.
It is true that illegal taxi transport has been a thorn in the eyes of official taxi drivers for years.
Illegal taxis take the bread away from the taxi driver, says an angry Sinusta chairman Mayra Medina. According to her, this is because illegal taxis also offer other things, including drugs and call girls.
Medina does not want to know anything about high rates, because the taxis on Curacao are no more expensive than elsewhere.
According to the chairman, Dutch people often complain about it, but the Americans say that the rates are low and even give a tip.
