And taxi drivers from South Gironde do not pretend to save the profession, they count well help, their way, the restaurateurs of the territory.
Free deliveries
The situation is not about to improve for restaurants already well impacted since March and the start of the health crisis then hit again with curfew in place since January 16. In front of this situation, the southern Girondins taxis have decided to show solidarity by offering the delivery of meals directly to the locals. « For now we start at a ten kilometers around Langon »Develops Sébastien Bonnin, one of the initiators of the project. To begin with, taxis from South Gironde will ensure deliveries of orders made from The Darroze House and Mom Everyone at Langon but also since apricot tree of Saint-Macaire. Interested restaurants can contact 06 03 16 19 76 or 06 60 63 23 50. The solidarity service will begin on January 27th.
The idea could subsequently develop towards Bazas but these three restaurants will already be a hell of a test. « There are around 40 taxis in Sud-Gironde, but there will not be 40 taxis per evening, warns Sébastien Bonnin. If there are a lot of orders, and I hope for them, maybe we will put two “. Whether it’s Sébastien or his colleagues, the drivers will offer this service on a completely voluntary basis. « We often have a good time at home with friends or family. We must not forget them »He insists.
You just have to order from one of these three establishments and you will receive your meal directly at home, delivered from Wednesday to Saturday between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. by taxi drivers.
Last June, when restaurants and bars were open, taxis in Marmande had already played the card of mutual aid with the profession by offering free rides to establishments in the town.
