The incorporation into the new Code of Road Traffic of Proposals and Observations submitted to Parliament by the competent bodies was announced by Mr. Konstantinos Kyranakis clarifying at the same time that does not intend to flexify the settings for the movement of Taxi on the buses.
The Deputy Minister of Transport even had fierce collision With the president of SATA Thymio Liberopoulos who earlier called him representative of Uber.
“Transportists are opposed to our arrangement that allows for boarding and landing taxi customers on the buses. Transportists have a opposite view of taxi representatives. We say that by July that will come in Buses cameras We will have real details and we will see real data to improve bus traffic based on the new provisions. If there is something other than what logic says – that is, when you empty the buses from other vehicles then You accelerate the bus traffic – We will see it again, “Mr Kyranakis said, among other things, to personally address Mr Lymberopoulos:” Today you came for a parliamentary dialogue you didn’t say anything about the bill. On the contrary, you claimed that I do a deal with Uber. What of what we have submitted to the bill favors Uber, which now operates by Spirtz’s law that you have described as the best law. “
Mr Kiranakis’ answers prompted the reaction of the president of SATA, resulting in the following dialogue:
Lymberopoulos: It has come out of the European Court of Justice that we have adopted and provides for a specific way for the functioning of multinationals and their taxation.
Kyranakis: This has nothing to do with the CCP bill. You come and blame me personally.
Liberopoulos: Proven that the electric car as a taxi does not work. All the EU says it. It’s insufficient to get 2 shifts. In this way they will force us to sell out the licenses.
Kyranakis: These are not the issues of the coke, nor of the bus. Stop slandering anyone who disagrees with you. You did not talk about the measure I took to remove the irrational provision that existed for a license when someone gets into a bus.
Liberopoulos: Will it have a point system?
Kyranakis: It’s not a coffee shop here, let me place me. You haven’t said a conversation about the measure not to deduct the license from taxi drivers – the federation’s proposal was – not to punish professionals when they are taking an offense. Contrary to what transporters propose us, we bring the average solution. We bring average solution that provides for a taxi entry into buses for boarding and landing customers. Not a complete ban.
Lymberopoulos: You have a passion with the Athenian taxi drivers.
Kyranakis: I have a happy relationship. I have no good relationship with those who slander me.
Liberopoulos: I;
Kyranakis: You.
Earlier, Mr. Lymberopoulos addressed Mr. Kyranakis, had argued: “You do what the globalization and the Uber you represent. Dill … “to add elsewhere” We show you the way and you find us. I’m not doing bowling. I speak politically and I want you allied not across. What I say the industry says. You did coups in our industry. Stop at last. We want our industry to survive. And we have a political controversy because what you do today is leading to the sale of our industry. “
Calls for speed limit from municipalities and regions
In addition, Mr Kyranakis noted that he intends to adopt proposals and said “you have suggested that we expand the alcohols to identify drug use by drivers, and the provision we bring provides for the possibility of supplying from the Traffic Police”.
In response to KEDE representatives, the Deputy Minister said that municipalities would be able to determine if the speed limit on the streets of their competence will be 30km/h or 50 km/h while adding “I tell you now that once the information system will be put in place and will give us a livelihood. Self -government. Self -government will be able to place cameras on the road network of its rushing and have revenue from fines. “
