The mayor of São Paulo, Ricardo Nunes (MDB), stated that the next measure that will be taken in response to the imbroglio with mobility applications is to ask for the cost of medical expenses for accident victims .
Since last week, Nunes has been facing difficulties with the operation of the motorcycle taxi service through 99 and, recently, with Uber joining.
In fact, this Wednesday (22) the mayor of São Paulo filed a criminal complaint against the companies for non-compliance with the municipal decree that prohibits the activity in São Paulo territory.
“We are going to move on to another stage, which is to seek accountability so that they pay to the City of São Paulo all the costs of urgency, emergency, surgery, prosthesis, time spent in hospital, and for families who are left without your income for the time of treatment. Today, we have almost 300 people in the rehabilitation center alone, apart from the people who lost their lives”, he commented.
Nunes also said that By holding companies accountable, it also supports service providers who do not have an employment relationship.
“It is not fair for them (motorcyclists) to do this type of precarious work without any suitable conditions for the driver, he suffers the accident and you are left unable to provide care for that person in order to support that family and the costs remain. for the city hall, which are very high […]. We need to create a system in which they are held accountable”, he assessed.
The mayor also pointed out that the companies that are contradicting City Hall’s orders have a high profit from other activities in São Paulo and that they even make up the largest share of the world’s budget.
