Carlos is an Uber driver. Shortly after 6.30am on Tuesday, he was waiting to pick up by BCM in Magalluf. He was approached by a man in a pink t-shirt who asked if he was on duty and how much he would charge to take him to Santa Ponsa.

The Taxi mafia in Mallorca have been ruling the streets forever here. This kind crap has been going on for a long time. Remember the tourist bus issues? The rickshaw issues? Ever wonder why its near impossible to get a bus to the airport from your area? Just to name a few. It's really time that the politicians of Mallorca joins the free market and start to crack down on the taxi mafia and start to think about the us. The people.
Horrible this sense of entitlement and years of being spoiled by mass tourism. Total scumbags. Really hope they make the guy pay and suspend his license for a long time. Shows how totally backward this place is allowing this sort of culture to persist.
From I will only use Uber when I need a taxi. The maffia taxidrivers needs to accept their world is changing. Bully boys with threats and violence should be avoided at all cost, in my view.
Disgusting. I hope these drivers at least lose their licenses after committing violence.
The monopoly mob shows their true colours.
It's outrageous that some new fangled taxi service is affecting the ability of normal taxii drivers to stick to their 25 hour a week routine and not working after 10pm.
