The Ministry of Transport has announced that arrangements have been made with the Gibraltar Taxi Association to provide a 24-hour Taxi Service over the Christmas period. 

A statement from the Governemnt follows below:

7 Private Hire Vehicles will be working 24 hours a day from the 24th December 2024 to 6th  January 2025. Each one will be working three shifts throughout this period. This is in addition to  the usual Taxi Service which is offered throughout the year. 

The general public is reminded of the dangers of drink driving and its potential consequences to  everyone, not just the person who has consumed the alcohol but families, essential services and  passer-byers alike.

Rides can be arranged by calling their phone line 20070052 or using the GTA Taxi App. 

The Minister of Transport, the Hon Prof John Cortes, said: “My Ministry has been working really  hard to make these arrangements, which ensures everyone can enjoy the festivities and get home  safely too. I am also very grateful to the drivers who will be working through the festive season  while others are enjoying the break. I would to thank the GTA committee and all taxi drivers for  working with me to put these arrangements in place. 

We will continue to work to improve public service transport and take this opportunity to wish  everyone a very Happy Christmas and New Year!”
