The Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP) conducted a policing operation targeting taxis at Lisbon Airport. During this action, the PSP detected a total of 67 violations among the checked vehicles. This operation involved verifying documentation and safety conditions of the taxis.

The violations reported by the PSP include the lack of necessary documentation for transportation activities, as well as fire extinguishers that were out of date. These procedures aim to ensure passenger safety and compliance with current legislation.

Additionally, the inspection also revealed cases of driving under the influence of alcohol, which represents a significant concern for road safety. PSP agents checked all taxis operating at the airport, totaling around 100 vehicles.

The policing action was a response to concerns about the compliance of taxis operating in the airport area, and the data gathered will serve for future interventions and monitoring measures. The PSP continues to emphasize the importance of legality and safety in passenger transportation.
