In late July 2026, the Tuzla Taxi Association announced a peaceful protest slated for July 31 to demand a fair regulatory framework for the city's taxi sector. Drivers highlighted sharply rising operating costs—fuel prices, taxes, and vehicle‑maintenance expenses—against minimal fare increases, and called for measures such as halting new licence issuance, enabling licence transfers, revising the “two‑for‑one” rule, creating a transparent licence database, updating taxi stands, and establishing a subsidy scheme.

On the scheduled day, hundreds of taxis took to the streets of Tuzla, carrying out the planned protest route and reiterating the same demands to municipal and cantonal authorities. Participants emphasized that they regularly pay taxes and have held repeated meetings with officials without satisfactory outcomes, underscoring the protest’s focus on securing economic relief for the sector rather than confronting citizens.
