Individual taxi drivers on the island of Gruba in the Médenine state resumed their work today 3 November 2026 after a decision to suspend an open strike continued for an entire week. Cars have returned to secure transportation for citizens across the island after a massive traffic jam over the past few days.
The suspension of this move has led to a gradual breakdown in pedestrian and passenger traffic after services and facilities related to the sector were disrupted.
Owners of private taxis have protested the decision to issue 23 new public taxi licenses within the island. The protesters believed that the new public taxi license was damaging their professional activity and affecting the fieldwork balance of the sector in Triba.
