“I’m not going by taxi”: a campaign against taxi drivers due to murder of an UBER driver

Through social networks, a social campaign was deployed as a protest against the recent homicide of the young UBER platform driverJavier Antonio Trejo, who was rammed by a van-type van affiliated with the Taxi site “ El Arco ”, 

The enormous outrage of the inhabitants of South California for the arterous murder of the UBER partner, led the people of the city to express their pain and support in solidarity with the family of the deceased driver, launching the campaign ” I’m not going by taxi “, inviting all people who stop requiring the services of this public transport, for one day, with the aim of creating awareness among the citizens and demanding that the authorities of the State Attorney General’s Office clarify Javier’s murder, capturing the material author of the Homicide for justice in this unfortunate case.

Similarly, the movement that began to viralize on digital platforms under the hashtags: # 1DiaSinViolencia and # UnDíaSinTaxis, calls on national and foreign tourists who are visiting the main tourist destinations of Baja California Sur, to stop using this traditional means of transport so that the dissatisfaction and the tiredness of the society feel before the eternal dispute between partners of UBER and taxi drivers, that has left unfortunate consequences, among them, human losses.

Just remember that since October 2018, when UBER began operations in Los Cabos and La Paz, verbal and direct confrontations between the members of both transport unions were repeatedly raised, given the refusal and concern of the taxi drivers for the arrival of the modern and sophisticated digital platform, which came to compete strongly with their obsolete units, driving latest-model cars, and obviously, including all the basic comforts for the passengers in turn, unleashing the violence caused by the drivers by taxi, mainly in Los Cabos.

Now, and after the unfortunate death of the UBER driver, the same society calls for a stop to these reprehensible actions that are staining with blood and death one of the most important tourism trigger regions, not only of Baja California Sur, but of whole Mexico, with this campaign that seeks to eradicate the aggressions between transport service providers, in all the southern California territory.
