Taxi associations to challenge Competition Council's decision on Bolt; plan new protest
Taxi associations intend to appeal the Competition Council's decision that found no abuse of dominant position by Bolt, and they are planning a new protest action.
Several taxi transport associations and organizations have announced they will challenge the Competition Council's (CP) decision, which did not recognize that the Bolt platform had abused its dominant market position. Additionally, they plan to organize a new protest.
This information was provided by LETA news agency, citing Ella Petrova, chairperson of the Association for Development of Licensed Commercial Passenger Carriers. The exact timing for filing an appeal and the potential date of the protest have not yet been specified.
The Competition Council previously conducted an investigation into Bolt's activities but concluded there was no evidence of abuse of dominance. The associations consider this conclusion unfounded and intend to contest it in court.
The planned protest is likely aimed at drawing public and government attention to issues in the taxi industry, including unfair competition and the negative impact of platform operations on licensed carriers.
