My friends in Barcelona are furious that this also includes Cabify. While taxis are generally plentiful, if you don't live near a major street, are in the suburbs or need to get an urgent taxi there are few options. I think MyTaxi still works though? Are all taxis across the board subject to the 15 minute delay? What a weird thing to impose and not just demand that taxi drivers are subject to certain labour laws that are beneficial to them.

Apparently the taxis demanded a 24 hour wait..

The 15 minute delay is only for VTCs, that is, vehicles with a driver which are not taxis. MyTaxi should work as usual (except when there's a strike going on, of course).

Taxi drivers are a cartel. I don't like Uber and their approach of wiping their butts with the law, but I hope all taxi drivers have to find another job. In a coal mine, for example.
