Bali Blue Bird taxi drivers seek police protection
Drivers of Bali Blue Bird taxis have asked protection from Denpasar Police following protests and violence by drivers from other groups, which are united in the Bali Tourism Service Association (PJWB).
“Our drivers are afraid of those who violently sweep our taxis on the streets. The protesters urge our passengers to get off the taxi,” Bali Blue Bird spokesman Nyoman Mertadi told Antara news agency on Tuesday.
Denpasar Police chief Sr. Comr. Gde Alit Widana said that the police had sent squads of police officers to safeguard the Blue Bird offices in Jimbaran and Sesetan.
The police will also monitor and take action against violations on the streets, he added.
Previously, hundreds of local taxi drivers were reported staging a demonstration Monday, demanding the closure of the Blue Bird taxi company in Bali for allegedly operating on the island without a permit.
