LOTI, that is to say public transport on request, have called for a demonstration Wednesday in Paris, with support from many platforms including VTC Uber, in response to measures taken by the Government to meet the taxis.
At the origin of this call, Joseph Francis, president of the association Alternative Mobility Transport (AMT), which includes a dozen capability transport companies, called LOTI, a thousand employees, told AFP it would be “a silent march as we are mourning “.
The association protested against the” turnaround “Manuel Valls who on Thursday called for” open a dialogue to find a way out “, but after a meeting with taxis” Declar (e ) (Friday) that our profession is illegal. “
Manuel Valls received Thursday night for nearly three hours all taxi organizations were mobilized for three days in particular against the misuse LOTI of vehicles.
Prime Minister promised them “incessant controls” to “fraud” and a strengthening in 12 departments of controls for VTC. A follow-up meeting of these checks will take place every week with the mediator, the deputy PS Laurent Grandguillaume.
But the fear of LOTI is not able at all to use the Internet platforms booking as Uber after sending letters of formal notice about twenty platforms VTC particular emphasis on the issue of LOTI transit licenses, the government feels unduly used by VTC.
“It seems that the platforms no longer have the right to work with (carriers) LOTI “which may lead to” thousands of people point to the employment center, “has indeed alarmed the CEO of private chauffeurs Yan Hascoet which however had not yet received a letter of formal notice on Saturday night.
The AMT Association therefore calls “open a real debate for a compensation of taxi licenses in order to exist. This march is open to all corporations transportation, taxis, VTC, and consumers, “said Mr. Francis.
Platforms Uber France, private drivers, fives and SnapCar have also echoed this call with their” partners “, have they told AFP.

For their part, platforms Marcel Drivers and Allocab and Voituresnoires Driveforme and companies that rent cars to drivers VTC indicated support this initiative, as training centers for drivers and CTI capability.
Certainly, the LOTI licenses were not intended to make VTC benefits, “but the last four years, the conditions access to VTC license have ceased to be reviewed and tightened under the pressure of taxis, contradicts common sense and the public interest, “recalls the company Snapcar in a document to its partners, including the AFP obtained a copy.
The SCP-Unsa VTC, VTC first drivers’ union established in November 2015, however, calls to boycott the gathering.

“We fell into a trap,” said the trade unionist, noting that “many drivers are indebted for automobile loans thinking that this activity was profitable and above all legal.”
“How you want to live and build a future with a company that has no qualms to deactivate your account network to stop receiving racing, which yesterday lowered tariffs without wanting to discuss, do not pay a cent in France and brought a destructive model our social values, “writes Unsa SCP-VTC in a statement
