License Turmoil in Mallorca: How Many VTCs Does the Island Really Need?

Answer

Do more VTCs in Mallorca mean fewer jobs for taxi drivers?

That is the main concern raised by the taxi sector in Mallorca.

The actual effect depends on how many licences are issued and how demand changes through the year.
