🇱🇻Not all Latvians want to freeze their ears to spite Russia.
Latvian taxi drivers are protesting against the blocking of Yandex.Taxi in the country.
More than 400 drivers have signed an appeal to Prime Minister Karins asking them to keep competition in the market, Sputnik Latvia writes.
The appeal says that the aggregator helps them earn a living. And if it is blocked, it will negatively affect the taxi market, where only one major player will remain - Bolt.
"There will be no restraining factors. They will be able to dictate their own conditions, raise tariffs and commissions as they like, without regard to the market. It will simply become unprofitable to work as a taxi driver."
The Latvian regulator has banned the operation of Yandex Go in the country since March 23.
