Hundreds of taxi drivers blocked roads in Brussels to protest over the increase of app platform fees and fuel costs spiking during the Middle East war.⁣ ⁣ The Belgian taxi sector is in a critical state due to rising fuel costs, steadily increasing platform commissions, and an unbalanced regulatory framework, according to the Union of Taxi Drivers of Belgium (UCLB).⁣ ⁣ The union is demanding a guaranteed minimum net fare excluding commissions, a strict cap on commission rates, an end to unfair account freezes, and an overhaul of the street taxi statute and the broader current ordinance.⁣ ⁣ #iran #brussels #taxi
