Chairman of the Alliance Owners of Public Transport (AOPT) Roy Raphael is serving notice of protest action by his association if concerns about the lack of provisions for taxi operators in Heroes Square and other parts of The City are not addressed soon.In an interview with Barbados TODAY, Raphael said drivers were angry about repeatedly being moved when events were held in Bridgetown, without either sufficient notice or compensation.“It appears to us that we are being taken for a ride and I am warning that if this matter does not resolve itself, the first event that is held in Heroes Square we are going to protest [and] take our action to the court,” he declared.Raphael said that in addition to taxis being relocated during events in The City, recent upgrades to the Fairchild Street Market had displaced even more of the operators.
