A group of Y-plate owners in Pembroke staged a protest today, decrying App-based platforms' neglect of drivers' concerns and the detrimental effects of Transport Malta (TM) policies.
The protesters voiced their discontent with these new regulations, arguing that such stringent requirements create unnecessary burdens for small-scale operators and individual drivers. They emphasized the need for more reasonable and practical policies that consider the challenges faced by those working within the industry.
Meanwhile, the Light Passenger Operators Association (LPOA) distanced itself from the protest. This development marks a growing discontent within the local transportation sector, with Y-plate owners urging authorities to reconsider these stringent measures. The protesters hope their collective voice will spark a dialogue, leading to more balanced regulations that support the interests of both operators and drivers.
