The app transport company, 99, stated this Friday (17), that it will compensate motorcyclists who had their motorcycles seized by the São Paulo City Council during raids against the operation of the motorcycle taxi service.
In a statement, 99 said that partner motorcyclists are being served as a priority. Passengers whose trips were affected should also contact 99 to have the fare refunded.
99 states that the seizures are illegal and that it will continue to defend the legality of the category and will support motorcyclists and passengers.
Understand the case
The 99 Moto service was launched last Tuesday (14). The launch took place without an agreement with the City of São Paulo, which has historically been against the type of transport.
The transport company uses a federal law that establishes the National Urban Mobility Policy to implement 99Moto in São Paulo, even without the authorization of the municipal executive.
The justification for the ban, according to the mayor, is the safety of users. Speaking to CNN, the mayor of São Paulo, Ricardo Nunes (MDB), classified the 99 motorcycle taxi service in the capital as “carnage”.
99 maintained the operation of the motorcycle taxi service even after the São Paulo Court denied an injunction filed by 99 to regulate the service.
In view of this, the municipal management began an operation with the support of the state government, including the participation of the Military Traffic Police to seize and restrict the motorcycle taxi service in the capital of São Paulo.
