The City Assembly approved a proposal to ban taxi drivers who flout the rules from Budapest’s Castle District for six months.
“Scavenger” taxi drivers have been a persistent nuisance in the Castle for years, parking in prohibited areas and preying on and price-gouging foreign tourists, the district’s mayor, Márta V Naszályi, told a press conference before a meeting of the assembly.
The opposition Párbeszéd politician said a meeting of taxi company representatives, the Budapest metropolitan council and the Budapest transport company BKK resulted in a proposal to amend parking regulations.
Taxi drivers who flout the rules can be banned from the Castle District for six months under the proposal.
