Tourists are on the warpath over a severe shortage of taxis in Palma and in the resorts with many complaining that they are forced to stay in their hotels at night (especially at the weekends) because there are no taxis available to take them to local restaurants.

As I have commented on the passport queues it is the same for taxis. Just stop all the flights arriving together - using the cheaper end of the landing charges - and then there will be no major tourist influxes allowing the taxis to spread themselves around more. Oh and just a thought, how about letting Uber operate on the island, that will stop the taxies wanting the "lucrative" or should I say exorbitant charging for long distances to Pollenca, Andratx, Soller etc.
' many complaining that they are forced to stay in their hotels at night (especially at the weekends) because there are no taxis available to take them to local restaurants.' Here's an idea - try walking or catching a bus!
