Taxi drivers in Alcudia, Muro and Pollensa have reached what is described as an "historic agreement" to try and prevent queues at peak times, on market days and during fiestas.
Under this agreement, as an example, a taxi driver from Puerto Pollensa who takes people to Alcudia market can then pick up in Alcudia if there is a shortage of taxis and the Alcudia drivers request this backup.
Average waiting times will therefore be reduced, the president of the taxi drivers in Pollensa, Victor Llompart, saying that the increase in the demand for taxis is mainly because of increased car-hire prices rather than by the number of tourists - the number is much the same as it was before the pandemic. He explains that the biggest problems occur after 11pm - people have had dinner, but there aren't the buses.
Llompart adds that the taxi drivers have an app for information to be shared by offices in Alcudia, Muro and Pollensa.

It is the same for Cala Bona, Cala Millor, Sa Coma and S'Illot. The Taxi Company there has changed its system. So there are no taxis. None at the Taxi Ranks. Plus their phone number is not answered at all. What has happened?. This service is now a complete joke for its residents and tourists. Would the MDB Please investigate the failure of taxis in all parts of the whole Island?
Bring in Uber, taxi situation a complete joke. If I have to wait 30 mins in Calvia and Palma to get cabs again, the island is done for me and everyone else (scores of people) who go there. How to kill the Golden Goose. Well done Mallorca, completely ckufed yourselves 👍
