Taxi drivers stated they will not rule out a national strike if Soptravi does not respond positively to their demands.

This is exactly what happens when you allow the donkey to lead the cart.
The economy of a country works best when it is based on the simple principle of supply and demand, this normally leads to better prices and quality of service because of the competition for customers.
Who are the bus and taxi drivers to determine if there are enough buses and taxis, seem all they want to do is guarantee that they can charge their passengers whatever they want, since when there is no choice, you have to use what you have.
